Heard about this controversy at Harvard? Some enterprising sophomores started a company called DormAid, which offers dormroom cleaning services to messy, lazy and/or cash-flush students.
Doesn't sound too controversial. But the Harvard Crimson published an editorial urging students to boycott the service, which it called divisive (the article also calls "eating out" divisive).
I'm in the "if you build it, and people come, more power to you" camp. If there's a market for DormAid, great. Feel free to judge anybody who takes advantage of the service as spoiled, lazy or whatever. But just because everybody can't afford something doesn't mean it shouldn't be offered. The new Land Rover parked next to 1984 VW Rabbit in Harvard Yard hasn't prompted anybody to ban cars.
