The case against becoming a student organization
One of the bigger obstacles for CE has been its status. We've tried to avoid becoming a student organization; although this would help in obtaining data and would possibly give us some money from Student Congress (doubtful though), we would lose our ability to operate independently.
One of the main features I've set in the site is the ability to specify school; I want this site to be franchise-able, and the moment we declare student org status, we lose the ability to push the franchise idea. Furthermore, I think there are serious fund-raising issues (e.g. it will cost money to get this done, and we won't be able to effectively raise money via student org status).
In any case, I just called the bureacracy of UNC to try to obtain grade distribution reports. The lady I talked with was very nice and told me she'd call me back.
Let's hope we can get the data so we can get a pickaprof system up. If not, I think me and Alex will go talk honestly with the Head Registrar about setting up a free, independent pickaprof system for UNC students.

Damn straight.
