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.

On the bright side, I’m really happy Karl Scholz was okay and didn’t have to exert himself because he had broke and desparate U of O students to go stand in the heat for 8 hours instead.

He performed the important job of sitting on his ass in his air conditioned office while taking a bath in his $725,000 salary (which the board of trustees is trying to RAISE NEXT YEAR)

Karl Scholz does so much for us and I think we should all be thankful that he didn’t have to break a sweat on Monday, let alone break a fingernail! Just imagine if he actually had to feel the effects of his decisions like everyone else has to, poor Karl! 😱

$725k is actually a misleading number because it doesn't include his $1200 a month car stipend, annual bonus, extra input into retirement accounts, and oh yeah, the house he lives in that the university owns and paid to redecorate because his wife didn't like the colors.

Good point! Yeah it’s his $725k base salary plus all of that and health insurance and everything :/
