@used to it already:

Ohio State may be a business, but it’s not supposed to be. Universities were originally meant to be public trusts, but tell that to Greedy Gee and his ilk, who spent their tenure turning the university into a corporation.

There’s a simple enough solution to this problem: bring back the idea of a “front desk.” In the old days, students used to staff the front desks of dorms, keeping track of who went in and out. Of course, with the advent of electronic door keys, that was just another position that universities could eliminate. But obviously key cards aren’t keeping people safe and aren’t serving the function that a staff member used to.
