Here at USC the policy is that any student can buy an SC. No student can buy
an NTX. But a student may purchase an NT if the head of the student's department
sends a letter to the computer store saying that the student has a legitimate
academic use for the NT and that the student will not resell the printer.
I think this last clause is beyond the scope of what the department chairman
should have to say, but bureaucrats just love to complicate things.
