Yeah, I feel the same. Where I went to university, printing, scheduling and proctoring exams was a central university function, and it was university policy to publish hard-bound copies of exam papers - including for courses no longer offered - going quite a long way back in the university library (both for students use, and for future academic study). Lecturers / course coordinators have no say on whether this happens. Students would commonly complete multiple past exams going back years, and anyone struggling with a question could ask a tutor about it in one of the labs (so that they actually learn the underlying principles). A lecturer re-using an exam question verbatim in that environment would be considered reckless. It sounds like the rules are different a Sacramento State University - perhaps to facilitate verbatim reuse of questions (which sounds like sacrificing educational quality for lecturer convenience). I do think, however, that this is exposing poor educational practices that reflects negatively on the university and the lecturer as much as on the students.
