Printing the paper was done by a six man team, but was led by the University Press manager Mark Rinker, who carried the work into the late hours while the rest of his team went home.

While several sources assure that this practice didn’t occur here at the University, the phenomenon does sound eerily similar to issues with Artificial Intelligence that is currently plaguing many schools nationwide.
