well this is shitty news

The things I hear from my nephew in college:

SGA passes bill for 2-ply toilet paper
Westphal said the idea behind the resolution came from the number of student complaints he received about TCU's current toilet paper. One complaint compared it to that of "the government's incarceration facilities", while another likened it to "sandpaper."

"The low quality of 1-ply toilet paper encourages inefficiencies through overuse," said Westphal.

Chancellor Victor Boschini and Vice-Chancellor for Student Affairs Kathy Cavins-Tull have also expressed their support of the resolution, citing cost as the reason behind TCU's current use of one-ply toilet paper, although it's "negligible."

Other universities across the nation, such as Harvard, Yale, Duke and the University of Kansas, have all been able to change to 2-ply toilet paper with no cost increase. Some were able to switch with no change in cost, and others with even a cost reduction.
