I don't even know where these computers are, but I just wonder if anyone
has brought this to the attention of Computing Services?  If I had any
personal information regarding this problem, I would call the University
Help desk (624-HELP), open a ticket, and see what happens.  Call back
once per week to check on the status.  Describe to them what needs to be
done to fix the situation, and then hammer it home.

It may feel like David vs. Goliath, but the truth is that most of the
people in that department take pride in doing things well but have a
daunting amount of work to keep on top of.  If you give them a nudge in
the right direction, it will get fixed.  Maybe not as quickly as you
think it should, but it won't take more than a month.
