They could make special arrangements in any number of locations and/or rent out an empty business suites on short notice. But my hunch is they will not go out of their way to right this wrong.
It won't cost anyone their job, aren't they state employees?
At any rate, it's inexcusable. It think I'm more PO'd at the way they are trying to cover it as a "security" problem.
They're calling it a security issue?? That notice they gave on their website is the exact type of notice I would expect from the board. Very little detail with no acknowledgment of fault.
Someone didn't verify the distribution of the correct books!
