GLASGOW, SCOTLAND — Managers at one of Scotland’s best universities are asking students to stop a filthy habit — pooping in trash cans and showers. <br /> <br />According to Glasgow tabloid The Daily Record, managers at the university’s Technology and Innovation Center sent out an email to students asking them to stop defecating in bins and showers. <br /> <br />“Given the incidence of people pooing in bins, showers and the likes – can I please remind all TIC occupants that the toilets have been provided for that specific purpose,” states a memo from the building’s operations management team obtained by the Daily Record. <br /> <br />“All bodily fluids, solids and toilet paper must be disposed of down the toilet. “While I appreciate that the TIC population is multi-cultural and different countries have different practices, here in the UK the accepted practice is to use only the WC.” <br /> <br />That reference to other countries and cultures, upset staff at the university and prompted an apology from the university administration. <br /> <br />“We’ve apologised for any offence caused to colleagues,” a spokeswoman for the university told the Daily Record. “The email contained sentiments completely contrary to our institutional values and should not have been sent.”
