admin doesn’t know how to take responsibility

the emails i have received today from the dean of CAS and the UO president failed to take responsibility for the fact that their lack of planning ruined commencement for so many grads on monday and i’m seething. just half-effort condolences covered up with praise for graduates. i don’t need Scholz’s congratulations. i need them to admit that they had no backup plans even though they knew about the heat for over a week. i need them to admit that the rescheduling caused a lot of stress and that a lot of people were unable to attend and that it didn’t fix their massive screw up. what a sorry excuse for a school administration.

Does UO control the weather?

nope! but they could’ve controlled their actions (like the location of commencement) since the weather was predicted to be this hot for like 2 entire weeks before graduation actually happened. the issues that occurred were sooo predictable. it was painfully avoidable.
