Offensive remarks, behaviour at Grad Ball prompt apologies from faculty, students

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/u-of-t-mba-graduation-party-takes-an-embarrassing-turn/article1521108/

what do you guys think ?

I'll post some excerpts for people who are too lazy to read the whole story:

<blockquote>The party is organized by students and it typically includes an open bar and roast-like presentations, where students poke fun at professors and the school.

Sources say some students swore, appeared drunk and made rude comments during skits about the ?Top 5 reasons to attend Rotman.? Some attendees were also offended by the introductory remarks of Rick Powers, an associate dean who is executive director of the MBA program.</blockquote>

After that, the dean sent an email to students and faculty chastising those responsible, calling their actions "offensive and demeaning," although he was not present at the party and just heard the information second-hand.

Mr. Powers then sent an apology.

<blockquote>Sources say Mr. Powers made a brief reference to a pair of students forming a relationship during a study trip abroad.</blockquote>

It's strange what sets off people nowadays, huh? Or maybe it's just over-sensitive business-school type people who've just been through a semester of hell. I don't know, I wasn't there, but it seems like a huge over-reaction.

And that's how Ralph sees it.
