Get the Silkwizard Year mug.A "four year promise" is a promise that institution makes for the duration of a client's stay; once the client has left the institution, the promise is no longer heeded.
The phrase originates in the relationships between college administrators and students, which often relies on the student body's short attention span (4 years, or often less) to on-going, systemic issues. This strategy can be used by colleges to make nominal concessions in one policy 'battle,' while patiently waiting for institutional longevity & momentum to win the policy 'war,' often as a result of the passing interest of the student body.
While a "four year promise" refers to an administration's actions, a "four year memory" may refer to the student body's (non) action.

Get the New year mug.A unit of value. One peasant-year is equal to the cost of employing one peasant (anyone making minimum wage) for a year.
For example: in the USA minimum wage is $7.25 an hour and peasants are legally entitled to time off, meaning a peasant-year is equal to $7.25 an hour * 40 hours a week * 50 weeks, or $14,500.
