This is very true.  

Also, banning the CIA from a majority of campuses may frustrate the CIA's
recruiting effort slightly, but I strongly doubt that it could affect
any REAL change.  Such a ban is at best symbolic.

And what about the college graduates who want to work for the CIA with the
intent of rising to a level in the organazation where they can effectivly
change policy.  Such is not unreasonable.

So you ban the CIA, you feel real good for a while - your made things better.
Then you start looking for something else to ban.  Soon you have and empty
campus.
