    That seems shady as hell, why can’t they own their own?

      It doesn’t really say but I suspect it’s to prevent people who live in the dorms from bringing in some garbage with a sketchy battery that is more likely to cause a fire.

      I do agree the practice of forcing people to use your vendors is sketchy but apparently it only applies to people who live on campus (still though).

      A University of Maryland, College Park policy prohibits most students from owning their own personal e-vehicles, forcing them instead to rent them from two companies contracted with the university

      That is all that is available unless you subscribe.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
