where is the money coming from? How much does that pool costs?
With budget cuts coming, may not be the best thing to spend six figures on.

Student Body President, Andrew Mahtook, says the funding for this project is completely separate from any state appropriations.
"It doesn't touch the funding that goes into teachers salaries, funds courses, or anything like that. The funding for "lazy river" was voted on by the student body as an approved self assessment fee."
In 2011, students passed a resolution asking for a student recreation fee increase to expand the recreation center, which includes the building of the "lazy river." Professor Kevin Cope, LSU Faculty Senate President, says this shows a flaw in how colleges prioritize funds.
quote:
"That's not how the money flow works at LSU. That's now how student government money flow works. So all these kind of arguments about that and about how we're spending our money, they're totally unrelated and really don't stand up."
Cope admits the cost of the construction of the "lazy river" doesn't impact the university directly, but feels the university should set a better example.
Zero problems here. Teacher is being dishonest with this argument
