Tenebrae,

I have indeed taken it to his superior, which is the Systems
Analyist for Boston University. The Systems Analyist
said he would have a chat with my school's technology coordinator
about the situation, but said that this should
not be happening.

Hopefully, by the end of the week, I will be able to
use my laptop on the network.

Thanks,
Evan
