Advice to Brooklyn College

      My advice to Brooklyn College would be not to employ any new media technologies whatsoever for students because they are physically incapable of maintaining and working with their already existing technologies which if it had been any other site on the planet, their would have been major networking changes years ago.  This has created the illusion for incoming students that Brooklyn College actual has the capability of providing these technologies, instead of just being realistic about the limitations of the facilities.  My only guess would be that the contract Brooklyn College signed as a city institution with its networking provider for example has been so corruptly agreed to as to agree to ignore the heinous dysfunction that exists.  My further advice to Brooklyn College would be to expect more from their employees who are not performing their duties with any consideration or fire them instead of carrying dead weight.  It is a terrible shame for the co-workers they are bringing down, because there are many hard working and talented members of the Brooklyn College family that seem to be continually overshadowed by the incompetence of a few in key positions.
      I would however recommend that Brooklyn College allow those employees who are so committed to providing services to the campus, to have a broader range of access to any and all media technologies available on site to be employed for more effective time management and better delegation of duties.  There could even be an effective training program that was provided for faculty and staff so that the inability to provide services could be bridged to a point of just being less than ideal rather than less than adequate.
      It is virtually impossible to use Brooklyn College's facilities to do simple tasks like uploading online video, or depending on internet for any streaming capabilities.
