You've got to be kidding me.

When I read this blog post I was in utter shock. If I was on the fence about attending the Day of Learning, I'm definitely not going now. Thanks, UFV, for the push. I'm not sure who approved this blog, or whether it goes through any sort of hierarchy of editors before it's posted (like a PR, for instance), but this is a major fail.

"UFV didn’t suspend regular programming for a day so that students could sleep in or go to the beach," and "You're at university. You're here to learn," are both completely condescending. We're not children. Apparently UFV Admin believes students are disrespectful, irresponsible, and completely arrogant.

It's really very sad. This event should have been organized better. Staggering events through a week-long period would have been great. It would have ensured a high attendance, but instead cancelling classes and then trying to guilt students into attending (because the organizers are starting to realize their idea might not have been a well thought out one) is insulting.

I hope admin can learn from their mistakes here. I'm ashamed to admit I'm apart of such an institution, where admin (ironically) acts like children.

This blog post should be removed, and an apology should be sent out.
