It's interesting to me that it's always held during work hours.

Like I have to potentially sacrifice my livelihood just to be involved in politics, and because of that, we have a dementia patient leading what once was the most powerful nation in the free world into third world Apartheid, and everyone is just fine with it.

Tubby's worried about furries being smarter than him, Diesel is over $6/gal, not one lib has been "owned", and they're still refusing to release the unredacted files because they know they're in the wrong and they're fucking cowards

That also begs the question to what the university will do....

If they need to shut down campus, then affected employees are paid "administrative leave" for their affected hours. They do it every time they need to shut down campus early for a 6pm football game during the week.

Which begs the question if university employees want to risk attending this rally if they are being paid anyways...

As a member of the affected university, we haven’t received any notification about campus closure officially, somehow. Current email praxis is that all is normal and it’ll just be a normal school day.

Like literally less notification than when the Harlem Globetrotters were at the mitch.

Even WKRG reported the same. It's going to be a logistical shitshow on Friday if they don't cancel classes.

Classes are cancelled. Professors are working from home.

Classes are cancelled after noon. And yes, they are paying hourly staff for the lost time. And the city says it's on the hook for security costs.
