Going to jail
At what point, do you make a decision to say "Eff you school. I'm not going." because conditions are not condusive to driving down to school?At what point does the administration say "Hey, wait a second, it's freaking treacherous out there because of the weather, maybe we should cancel school because we have a very very large commuting population of our students?"
Does the WSU administration camp out in their cozy little offices before days like this so they can arise and say "Well I made it in, the students can too?"
I write these questions because of the fact of the whiteout/blizzard like conditions due to the winter storm which just happens to be pummeling our area. I noticed that both Friends and Newman had classes cancelled. Schools which don't have the commuting based that WSU has. I noticed that all of the schools in Wichita aren't having school. Yet, WSU is. Now I live 35 miles from campus. That's not a jaunt to the grocery store, that's 30 minutes of driving time in normal weather. It's not a couple of blocks that I can creep, leaving 10 minutes early, no, it's 184, 800 feet that sounds like it's going to take a couple of hours.
Did they not listen to the traffice report this morning? When the KFDI guys are out saying that there are 4 accidents on one exit ramp (the one I happen to use) and that semis are having problems getting up inclines, did they not think "Hmm...it seems to be dangerous, maybe we shouldn't have classes today?
I am a dedicated student, but at the same time, I do value my life over two classes this afternoon. Right now, I'd like to hit WSU admins with a snowball covered rock.
