Assuming NSA has 16-week semesters . . .

Tuition paid to New St. Andrews: $6000.00
Coffee at Bucer's: $240
Books from the NSA Bookstore, Ball & Cross, and the NuArt: $1500
Illegal photocopies of books on southern slavery: $30
Internet access for assorted email pseudonyms: $144
Weblog maintenance: $96
Casino tab: Ask Daddy
Parking tickets in Jackson Street lot: $0
Books from BookPeople: $0
Co-Op shopping: $10.73 (must pray for strength to resist the infidels' kale 
slaw)

Actual per student expenditure: $8020.73
Exaggerating expenditures to support continued zoning violation: Priceless

Of the 17 new full-time jobs NSA claims to have created, how many were 
advertised?  How many were competitive EEOC hires?  How many went to members 
of the immediate Wilson family?  How many, like Mr. Hieronymous' own job, 
were created for him specifically, especially, and personally?

Nothing, but nothing, in the Hieronymous letter is what it pretends to be, 
and none of it adds up.  NSA is not an engine of job creation in downtown 
Moscow; it's a tool for self-propagation.

PS: Wait!  I forgot to add in the rents paid to those Christ Church members 
who are running illegal boarding houses!  At $350 to $400 per student per 
month, that's another $2800 to $3200.  I do believe we're getting close to 
$14,285.71, Tom.  The question, of course, is how much of that is plowed 
back into the local economy, and how much goes straight into Mr. Wilson and 
the Elders' ample pockets?
