I'm sure the entire academic library community would be more than happy
for you to tour all of our campuses and address the remarks below to our
provosts, academic vice presidents, presidents, and boards of trustees!

Universities don't have "extra" funds because administration "says so."
Meanwhile, they show unspent revenues in the billions of dollars to the
government, as required by law. Having reported $500 million profit to the
IRS two years in a row, one of these predators cried to the librarian, "we
had to borrow to get by this year."  Remember Stanford caught mis-posting
research overhead to nonresearch accounts while cancelling science
journals because there was "no money." You can believe administrators if
you wish to.  I would rather stick to the facts.
