Something new: student auctioning off his seat in a popular class (on ebay) via Dave Barry's Blog.

From Today's Miami Herald:
Student tried to auction seat on eBay
A Nova Southeastern University law student had his wrist slapped this week after he tried to auction off his seat in a popular class on eBay.
Ryan Vescio's auction attracted 19 bids from six students. The winner offered $225, but Vescio was unable to collect -- several students and professors complained to university administrators.
Pat Jason, the law school's associate dean for student and administrative affairs, sent Vescio an e-mail Wednesday instructing him to cancel the auction and come to her office.
''Fraud is attempting to sell something you don't have ownership of,'' Jason said Thursday. ``He does not own the course.''
The class deals with the First Amendment and is taught by professor Bruce Rogow, who has represented a number of high-profile clients in free-speech cases.
