[Vision2020] What in the world?

[Donovan Arnold]

Mr. Hansen,

I will find out, most likely tomorrow when UI is open, as to if Christ 
Church is being given a lower rate of rental on the Kibbie Dome.

My bet is that Christ Church is being charged a different rate than others 
because of other factors besides favoritism and back scratching, like 
services or insurance costs. However, if that is in fact the case that they 
are being shown favoritism, I will  support stopping that behavior. Christ 
Church should be treated exactly the same as any other outside group renting 
facilities from UI.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
