Harvard and Princeton Professors Cancel Classes to Let Students ‘Recover’ from Election
National Review ^ | November 7, 2024 | Abigail Anthony

Professors at Harvard and Princeton have canceled classes following Trump’s victory, and other units within the universities are offering “spaces” to process the election results.

At Harvard University, the courses “Sociology 1156: Statistics for Social Sciences,” “Applied Math 22a: Solving and Optimizing,” and the general education courses “The Ancient Greek Hero” and “Popular Culture and Modern China” canceled Wednesday class sessions, made attendance optional, or extended assignment deadlines, according to the student-run paper the Crimson.

An undergraduate student at Harvard told National Review that the first 30 minutes of a section meeting for the class “Gov 1790: American Foreign Policy” were dedicated to origami folding.

Harvard economics lecturer Maxim Boycko said in an email that the in-class quiz for “Economics 1010a: Intermediate Microeconomics” would be optional this week and further permitted students to “take time off,” per the Crimson.

“As we recover from the eventful election night and process the implications of Trump’s victory, please know that class will proceed as usual today, except that classroom quizzes will not be for credit,” Boycko wrote. “Feel free to take time off if needed.”

I was an engineering student at the University of Arizona when we got the bad news that Carter was elected president. We were not happy with the results but we sucked it up and went to class the next day anyway.

Do tell us, Maxim, if that is your real name, what are the, "...implications of Trump’s victory..."? Besides an increase in locally produced, tear stained, lemon bars.

Grifting socialist bastard.

I’m guessing that the instructors are the ones who need the recovery day.

What IF a large number of students attend a Trump rally during this period of misery?

It is probably the professors that need a time out, more than the students

I doubt that the students are as committed communists as their professors.

Hey Libs, man up you lost because your candidates were hard core socialists, verging on the line of communism. Wanna win, pick likeable candidates who don’t want to redistribute wealth.
On I am sorry, you don’t have any, I forgot.
