My mother-in-law recently got her degree. She told many stories about going back to school "late in life" but the one that I remember vividly is how she would sit in the back of the lecture hall, diligently taking notes on her laptop and look around briefly and see every other laptop screen with images of solitaire, ebay, gambling, zappos, facebook, etc etc. She couldn't believe that (likely) the parents of these students were spending so so so much money to send these kids to school and this is what they were getting out of it.
I can't believe it's not the parents asking for the unwiring of lecture halls.
