Books, which she will be able to re-sell to the school for maybe $20 each...which they turn and re-sell again for $100. Textbook resale is one of the biggest scams out there...and its a damn shame that you can't be a part of it! heh. Kate, what may sound as an absurd policy, sounds like an opportunity to me.
