Drew needs to get its head out of its ass

For those of you who don't know me, I graduated last year.
Last spring I had a project for an advanced environmental studies course - I think the paper needed to be thirty pages.

At the time, I had made ILL requests for sources for this paper.
The office could not deliver in a timely manner - by that means they could not provide the sources over the course of a semester from two weeks pre spring break until finals week.

Today I received this email:

Dear Carl,

I just received an invoice for $25.00 from the University of California,
San Diego for photocopying fees. We had ordered an article for you, the
title, Final Environmental Impact Statement.

Would you please make a check payable to: The Regents of the University
of California for $25.00.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thank you.

First of all, on the request, I had made it a point not to receive any sources that would cost more than 5 dollars (most of them, I put a buck - I dunno what this particular one said)

Do I need to pay this?
I had all financial accounts cleared before graduation.
The only thing is that I cannot receive transcripts if a fee is due.
The financial record was clean as of 3 weeks ago when I needed a trancript last.
I just don't want this dumb thing to bite me in the ass when I need something again. Just another case of the Drew screw.
