As we would say in the old Navy (round shot, rammers, wooden ships, etc.,) Bravo Zulu! And as a former Prof (44 years in an institution, then I went over the wall ) There are many ways to tweak the tail of the administration, without doing anything that they can come down on you for.

I only wish I had had more students like you (I did have some, but not enough) to leaven the rampaging apathy that filled most of my classes. It would have made my life much more interesting.
