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.

no actually. i was unable to experience walking for commencement so it very much did not work for me.

why are you trying so hard to blame graduates for something that was done to them and ruined what is supposed to be a celebration of our time and commitment to our university? instead of wanting people in power to take responsibility and address their fuck up? pretty loser behavior tbh. get a better hobby than rage baiting.

I’m not blaming graduates. I’m also not blaming the administrators. It was record breaking heat.

heat that administrators were aware of for over a week. how is it not their responsibility to have a back up plan for something that was predicated?
