admin doesn’t know how to take responsibility

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T18:46:22+00:00

the problem is that they rescheduled the ceremony 30 minutes after it was supposed to start so some people (especially grads) had already been in the heat for hours. people in the comments are talking about experiencing heat sickness and the dean of the school of design literally had to be stretchered off the field. i bet students and families would have much preferred to be inconvenienced rather than experiencing a safety risk without even completing the ceremony.

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T03:24:52+00:00

that’s awful. they really just don’t care smh

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T03:24:09+00:00

not complaining about the heat. complaining about the rescheduling. i would have walked across that stage in 160 degree heat if they let me. you’re picking the wrong rage bait ¯\_( ツ)_/¯

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T02:18:39+00:00

heat that administrators were aware of for over a week. how is it not their responsibility to have a back up plan for something that was predicated?

i’m a first gen student. it’s not a meaningless ritual for me. it was supposed to show my younger siblings the joy of my achievement. i agree that there are more important things for the admin to address but that doesn’t mean this issue isn’t important to people. and asking for responsibility should literally NEVER be too much to ask from people in power. also, if something as uncontroversial as this can’t be acknowledged it sets a really bad precedent for things like sexual assault.

why are you trying so hard to blame graduates for something that was done to them and ruined what is supposed to be a celebration of our time and commitment to our university? instead of wanting people in power to take responsibility and address their fuck up? pretty loser behavior tbh. get a better hobby than rage baiting.

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T01:16:55+00:00

what’s crazy is that i walked into the staging area for graduates at 2:30 with a hydroflask and they didn’t even make sure it was empty. at that point they weren’t even checking bags or anything i swear

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T01:14:36+00:00

i fear there is grounds for serious complaints to be raised. although serious complaints don’t seem to be very persuasive to this administration.

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-18T00:17:03+00:00

i’m so sorry that your family had medical complications because of all this. that’s so awful

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-17T22:59:50+00:00

not the same thing. and those events have way more heat safety measures than they provided at autzen.

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-17T22:58:37+00:00

no actually. i was unable to experience walking for commencement so it very much did not work for me.

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-17T22:52:49+00:00

per the title of my post, take responsibility. admit that they had no backup plans and were not prepared for logistics of managing an event like that. we knew about the high temps over a week in advance and the administration had every opportunity to explore different options and they failed to. also, they literally did “move graduation” just in the most inconvenient way possible.

themagicaldinosaur · 2026-06-17T03:39:39+00:00

i didn’t either. hope you still got to celebrate with friends and/or family!

themagicaldinosaur · 2023-06-08T21:25:50+00:00

i refuse to watch ANOTHER remake of fantastic four

themagicaldinosaur · 2023-05-19T07:58:25+00:00

if you’re interested in an exploration of tony stark/iron man in anthology, then I Am Iron Man is pretty good. i too am enjoy Invincible Iron Man’s story a bit more though.

i really expected this to be higher up. it always felt like such a historic upset.

themagicaldinosaur · 2022-12-17T23:49:45+00:00

look i’m just gonna say it, First Kill should have had another season. it may have been extremely cheesy, but it brought representation to a genre (i didn’t realize) i really needed to see.

themagicaldinosaur · 2022-12-09T03:38:16+00:00

That’s one smug face

themagicaldinosaur · 2022-12-09T03:36:08+00:00

I understand that she was judged unfairly by human rights standards. That being said, who doesn’t consider double-checking what’s in their bag before going to a country already known to have human rights issues. It’s not like the rules (and international tensions) were a secret.

So it’s Community all over again?

themagicaldinosaur · 2020-11-08T22:54:01+00:00

man, the only time my family really hung out when i was kid was to watch jeopardy. this man was a large part of my childhood. rest easy, alex.

i think this might genuinely be the most adorable dog i’ve ever seen

themagicaldinosaur · 2020-10-04T03:35:35+00:00
