Eh?!

As far as trying to have students carry their student ID all the time, please remember that a uni is a *private* place, filled with very expensive equipment. How on earth is it bad for a security guard to be able to check that someone hanging around outside the computer labs is actually a student having a smoke break, and not a criminal waiting to tailgate a student through the doors and steal 200 PCs? A driver's license won't cut it in that situation.

Using this as the justification for having to have your student ID for picking up parcels is pretty weak, but the goal of having students carry their ID cards with them is generally the right thing. And there's no reason for them not to, anyway. It's just a card, for heaven's sake - if they've got their driver's license already, how is it inconveniencing them to have a second card in their wallet?
