A college student died in his dorm room. It took almost two months for anyone to notice.

Not one of my college instructors ever took roll with the exception of a grad student who taught a German language class. She was very cute, but was a native German and fit the stereotype of a detail oriented obsessive.

The guy next to me in a boarding house killed himself.
Four days later there was no question that something
in that room was dead.

“Amid an outcry from university students”

Eh, projection much?

Aren’t these the same students who lived near him in the dorm, were his friends, were his classmates? No one was interested in the smell, or the fact they hadn’t seen him (or heard anything that he might have left, etc)?

Sounds like alot of people are do-nothing careless useless people, and it’s not just the college’s fault.

“but was a native German and fit the stereotype of a detail oriented obsessive.”

The “but” says you think that’s bad.

I always find myself checking Life 360 to see where my kids are at their universities.

As a tangent, I have a good friend in primary education. He says: If both parents are at home, and at least one parent comes to the scheduled parent-teacher meetings - they know the kid will be fine and will not get in trouble. And tracking the kids forward, he says that child is basically statistically guaranteed to finish high school.

Its the most simple and accurate metric of future performance they have.

I had a job in retail management years ago.
The ladies rooms in the store needed to be cleaned.

I have had custodial staff turn in an immediate resignation and walk out the door rather than clean them. They got THAT bad. Much worse than the men’s.

Several guys on here keep claiming that but I don’t find it true, either. Having had to clean Wendy’s restrooms and occasionally keeping track at a theater. Never mind my own personal experience.

Meanwhile, men couldn’t care less how their standing spreads disgusting liquid all over personal private bathrooms, never mind public. I can think of DH, uncle, and a nephew all guilty of stuff on the lid, down the toilet, and all over the floor and walls.

Most college classes don’t even take rolls............

True but they do periodically test you to see if their indoctrination in liberal ideology is progressing in a satisfactory manner.

The typical smell of a mens dorm is not much different from a decomposing corpse.

Yeah, you’re paying for the classes, if you want to pay and not show up, nobody cares.

When I worked Security, one of the things I had to do was check the building after the second shift left. So I had to check the bathrooms, and the women’s was always way messier than the men’s.

This was circa 1971-72. This particular womens restroom was as filthy as you could think.

The graffiti on the walls was a PITA to clean off. Women write more on walls than men do, usually because they have pens and pencils and small knives or fingernail files in their purses, and men usually don’t

Used tampons and kotexes thrown up against the walls, mounds of toilet paper thrown on the floor, totally disgusting....................

How bad does your dorm room have to stink for you to not notice the smell of a rotting corpse across the hall? I would also ask the dorm RA why he didn’t notice or care. In the dorms that I lived in, the campus cops would also do random walk-throughs. What about the maintenance superintendent? Lots of people not doing their job here.
