Administrative Blunders: from Passive Allowance to Blatant Endorsement

At this moment, room 218 of Hutchins Hall holds roughly 85-95 undergraduates studying Kinesiology in something akin to "Biomechanics," though wolverine access doesn't actually list a location or a course under that specific name.  

I can't believe that this room change (purportedly changed from a CCRB lecture hall, according to one student loitering in the hall) was un-endorsed by law school administration.  Presumably, this decision was held, at least in part, on the grounds that with the new building we have plenty of room for all.  One problem:  the scheduling for courses this semester is a joke of monstrous proportions.  Examples of poor scheduling: several courses scheduled within 10 minutes of each other (in the same room, no less); the Wednesday 20-minute debacle (if you aren't a victim... thank whatever power you like); lunch events running into scheduled course time.

So, explain to me how we have available space to loan it out to undergrads, but can't fix our own internal problems first?  It's slightly reminiscent of U.S. foreign policy, but let's not get into that.
