My Alma Mater, Longwood University, is cheap. They send a hundred mailers a year that beg me for money, that invite me to art shows so they can beg me for money, that invite me to other functions so they can beg me for money, or (as the most recent LU delivery suggests) let me know they've sold my name and address to certain third parties (sweet, I too can be the proud owner of 0.0% APR through 2009!); yet, they can't even cut a sheet to tell me I'm not welcome for even an interview for a job an orange could do. Fifteen months apart and they send the same form-letter e-mail (e-mail? yes, an e-mail) with the same typo.

15 months apart and they still haven't fixed the typo.
See, this is the type of quality you can expect from Longwood University.
