The administrators have gotten insufferable. In 2019 I co-ran an event for student-alumni bonding that invites alumni from all years, mostly families, to come back to the school and share a large historic feast with students. The administrators did not like that this would include alumni from a dormitory that was closed for 'policy violations' (note: most of these alumni are perfectly functional parents and adults! they have no interest in debauchery with undergrads) so they tried everything to sabotage this student-alumni gathering.
At one point they claimed, verbatim, that 'preparing and serving potato salad presents a liability to the Institute' when discussing the tradition of students and alumni preparing side dishes together. Potato salad liability... we built a wooden rollercoaster in the courtyard the previous year!
- onionisafruit 4y agoWas it a vinegar-based potato salad? If so, that’s a liability to good taste, but probably not something the school administration should concern itself with.
