office

The Office for Responsible Research probably shouldn't amuse me as much as it does, but I can't help but laugh to myself when I walk by.
I picture some Far Side comic, where on the other side of the hall, there's another doorway, perhaps misshapen with a broken door knob, smallish, that says Office for Irresponsible Research... crazed lab rats scurry through the corridors and other experiments gone awry, people who haven't gotten IRB approval, etc. Maybe I've worked and been around academia too long, I'm not sure why ISU's insistence on putting that adjective in their office title entertains me...
