Library Bias

I was in the library the other day looking at a display that was ostensibly about the design of campus. Take a look at the statistics I gathered:

5 panels talk about different buildings around campus (the BYA building, Maeser Bldg, plans in general and the JFS family living center).

8 panels and one 2-sided banner are dedicated to the library.

These panels assert that they are depicting the "library as heart" and that "[no building], I believe, is as important as the library" and that ". . .a library is the heart and substance of a university."

I think that maybe they should have put a panel that says "full disclosure: the designer of this exhibit works for the library).
