Planning Dept.-- He is probably saying the college is not zoned for hospitality. Just for dorms for its own students and occasional visitors who are not charged.

I hope the school was collecting hotels tax, if there is one. Governments have so many hammers to hit people with.

I have a feeling that if they were simply holding a bird-watchers convention, there would be no trouble from the local government. If it were a Planned Parenthood or ACLU convention, I have a feeling there would be no trouble, either.

Planning departments around the country simply have power too much power.

Dear Montfort,

At least where I live, colleges and universities often rent their facilities, including dormitory space, to groups and individuals not otherwise associated with the school.

I've attended seminars, conventions, and similar events and stayed in college dorm rooms, and used other college resources. It's a way from schools to earn extra money when classes are out.

I'd be really surprised if this is only done in my part of the country.
