You do the same thing you do when they implement other stupid policies - 
you live with the policy, or you work around it.  If your school makes a 
stupid policy that you can't park your car between the hours of 8 am and 9 
am, you get there before 8 or after 9, or you have a friend drop you off, 
or take the bus, or you pay to park in the lot across the street.
