:Sorry but IRC appears to be SOLELY used for entertainment.  This is a
:poor example of how to spend the students and taxpayers money.

So what?   Anything that gets them into computers more is a good thing.
Don't pre-judge what is and is not going to have good long-term side effects.

That said, it does sound frivolous, but unless there's a cycle or net 
or terminal crunch, I see no reason to take it away.
