DUST University Press Release: Hedaleolfarber III Claimed as Academic Planet
With reports that planetary conflicts have spread to the region of Molden Heath, board members of DUST University have unanimously voted in favor of staking claim to Hedaleolfarber III as an academic planet. Extending their hand in mutual cooperation to other academic corporations, such as BojoGÇÖs School of the Trades, the university is asking them to join in the endeavor to bring premium education to the newest warriors across New Eden. As tensions between the assorted factions escalate, the demand for trained mercenary forces will only increase. DUST University, and corporations of like mind, strives to meet this demand in earnest!
DUST University, in conjunction with other education corps, plans to stake claim to the planet. Each school will claim an equal number of sovereign districts totaling one to three districts. The remaining unclaimed districts on the planet will be used for training matches between the academic corps to fine tune potential graduates in the specifics of planetary conquest. Additionally, other corps may be invited to participate in training at the non-sovereign districts.
The university will remain neutral in all engagements. We will not seek out to conquer additional planetary districts without the owning corporationGÇÖs consent as part of a training exercise. If DUST University does win a district as part of these training exercises the district will be returned to the original owner.
DUST University reserves the right to defend their districts against any hostile forces by whatever means are at their disposal.
Though we seek the support of the community as a whole in this grand effort, no formal alliances, nonaggression pacts or defense contracts are being made in an effort to maintain our policy of neutrality, with the exception that we will respect the sovereign districts of other training corporations. Any material support received to pursue this mission or to maintain ownership in the future will have been strictly voluntary and unsolicited by DUST University.

If you want to be like EVE Uni, just ask corps who own Districts to give lectures about them or lead squads into battle on uni sponsored contracts.
Instead of claiming stuff with a Holier than thou attitude.
seems like dust uni just want things handed over to them, which makes me sad, as that is not in the spirit of the eve universe or the eve university.
There is neither attitude or ego in our announcement.
We reached out to the community as well as debated internally for as many viewpoints as possible and you certainly are free to you own opinion. As part of our reach out to the community,we promised transparency...and that is the sole purpose of this announcement.
The community will do with this Information as they wish. We will continue to drive our mission regardless of the success of our PC aspirations. |

<.<
Our stance is neutral because we targeting a specific district sans politics. We have an objective. We will attempt to accomplish it..
If that involves throwing isk at the problem I'll let the CEO make the decision. |

Our goal isn't to build an empire...it's to pass along the tools to help present and future empire builders!
Because our goals are different, you can attempt to grief us but it won't be successful in the traditional sense. We may be inconvenienced but we'll just shake our heads and move on. It's kind of like our philosophy on spies....when you don't have anything to hide you don't stress about them.
tl;dr - griefing DUNI gets no QQs |

*Looks over at Kevall*
At any point, did we ask for a hand out? I'm pretty sure we didn't...
We said:
1) We claim this as our spot that we hope like minded people will want to use for the same purpose as us...
2) If you try to take our spot we'll attempt to take it back. (Fair notice in the interests of neutrality).
I can't speak for every member of DUST University...but I can say you certainly aren't going to see any tears from DUNI management if the district is taken. We will attempt to take it back and if unsuccessful move on to other plans. When we say we seek support from the community we're asking if we're serving our purpose, do you find value in our mission...etc.
End of debate about handouts |

I don't know about you, but the fastest way I learn is to get my teeth kicked in again and again and again. I don't like playing decent players. If I'm a newbie I wanna play the best guy ever and let him do hideous things to me. Never give up, never surrender. If they take your district, then attack it another 365 times this year lol [Edit]: Plus, hey, its your job to learn, what have you got to lose by throwing away clones, but if you keep attacking whoever takes it then I'm sure they will eventually get fed up they never make any ISK because you keep attacking them and eventually give it to you.
It's a cost/benefit issue. If the benefits continue to outweigh the costs we would move on...as long as we feel we're coming out ahead on the benefit scale I'm sure we'll continue to move forward. |

I'm saying we're going to take those districts for the best of our interests, and if you like our interests it's an FYI. And if you don't you now know where they are and can be relaxed with the fact they probably couldn't hold there own if attacked. 
Dr Debo Galaxy -> no we're not
Bojo The Mighty -> Couldn't have said it better
SoTa PoP -> True to an extent...our corp battles up to this point have been a first come first served affair were anyone was welcome regregardless of skill level...there will be more requirements for participating in the PC matches. |

Remember Jaiden, the CEO maybe be willing to "throw isk at the problem" in order to attain that territory. If that's the case, PFBHz will be more than happy to slap down anyone trying to ruin Dust Uni's sand castle.... for a price.
Speaking from a personal, non-DUNI related perspective...
Now that makes me feel pink and fluffy...umm...I'm mean warm and fuzzy in a cold hearted mercenary kinda way
Comradrie and loyalty are all nice....but mercenary...THAT's a business model  |
