Requiring students to print out assigned reading is ridiculous though. I'd also argue that they should print the assignments out themselves if they want a paper copy to use as opposed to making students do it, though I suppose that's also a budgetary thing (fob the costs onto the students, where it's spread out more).

Maybe so, but it isn't someone in IT's job to point this out.

I have a good relationship with my department's IT guy. If he started telling me how to run my classes, we'd have a much less good relationship all of a sudden.
