Schulz dumps us for Washington State

That doesn't strike me as insensitive

I mean, having lost loved ones to motor vehicle accidents, I can empathize with some of the emotions, but I fail to see how traffic deaths in inclement conditions are the fault of Dipshit or the University.

i knew he hid a cold, murderous heart beneath that rosy-cheeked facade.

Go further down into his @'s from earlier today. And those people don't even have 7 years of him lol'n at snow days to be extra pissed off about.

What a non issue

I took the Lando .gif as him wishing the students good luck on the semester.

What a non issue

The students need to understand that if you can't make it because of the weather, you can't make it. It is the beginning of the term, I'm not sure what the millennials are so scared of. That being said, he couldn't be more flippant and callous about those kids dying if he tried. What a tone deaf, insensitive, dick bag.

Those roads heading into Pullman are bad. There was some pretty decent drifting going on two weeks ago. I can't imagine what it's like now with even more snow and ice.

BTW, Pullman is way in the middle of nowhere and seemed extra lame.

Wasn't it a thing for some high demand classes that if you didn't show first day, you got dropped?

Yep, the official statement implied those kids would be alive if they had come back to school from the holidays much earlier or not gone home at all, so blame them. And when you're done blaming them, lol at this gif.

pretty early in his tenure to reneg on his promise of no more bodybags.

  I was a journalism student, I didn't have those problems. I'm sure the issue could have been solved by sending the professor an email saying "yo bitch the roads are iced over and I'm stuck in Walla Walla, see ya next week, hoe."

The commute is a little different between local children going to grade school and college students returning from wherever their homes are to college.

They died during the weekend before trying to get back to school for the first day of classes on Monday.

ah.   either way, I don't expect they would have chosen to not travel on the weekend if classes were cancelled for the first day...it's a tragedy, but the rage seems misplaced.

In June 2000, Rawlins returned to Washington State where he served as president until May 21, 2007. Rawlins created some controversy in the WSU community in 2002 when he tried to phase out the popular nickname "Wazzu" from usage. The change proved a firestorm of protest from students and alumni and he relented.

University President V. Lane Rawlins wants the word purged from T-shirts, coffee mugs and other school-related products on the grounds it is vaguely derogatory and plays to the perception that WSU is a place where booze trumps books.
