Working fer free for muh friend's "start-up", which is predicated on getting slave labour for free. If the University of Maryland expands this model to include "student-builders", they could get some pretty spiffy campus extensions on the cheap. Not to mention all the Classics departments could be reformed to include a 20% mark for "student-sexworker" contribution to public enjoyment. Lol, "student-programmers".

This is unfortunately SOP. Just about all high-ranking profs in the department 'sit on two or more chairs with one arse' and are involved in a quasi-private (read: USG-tronic) chumpatron, with the serfs (grad students) invariably brought along for the ride.
