Dear Editor,
I feel it is my responsibility to say that the ad for Seminole Ridge Apartments in the most recent East Tennessean is, to say the least, very distasteful.
As an employee of ETSU, I am tremendously disappointed that you would run such an ad.
As a parent, I think it’s disgusting.
A large number of our students are leaving home to live on campus. Do you think this ad would make me want to send my child to this school?
ETSU is here to provide a quality education to our children. This ad certainly doesn’t imply that.
If we have to stoop this low to obtain money to run this paper, then someone needs to re-evaluate their priorities and the need for this publication.
