<P>Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'll admit that I haven't read the complaint against the U of I. That said, it's my impression that the complaint is against the U of I for having offices or facilities of some kind downtown, not the main campus location. Perhaps the complainants or their acquaintances could shed some light on this.<BR><BR>Sunil</P><BR><BR><BR>>From: "J Ford" <privatejf32@hotmail.com><BR>>To: vision2020@moscow.com<BR>>Subject: [Vision2020] Re: UI Can Stay Put<BR>>Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 11:59:00 -0700<BR>><BR>>Ok, I know there are people out there who refuse to do some leg work <BR>>and look things up for themselves but are very fond of spouting out <BR>>things that, to the non-discriminating mind, could sound somewhat <BR>>truthful, such as the e-mail below...however, I am not one of them.<BR>><BR>>I went to the UI web
