OK, sorry, after beating my chest three times, mea culpa.  Should have
checked my dates a little more closely...
The first football game is NEXT THURSDAY the 30th...the 2nd week of
classes...but my argument still stands...I don't think it is appropriate to
pull students from a class that meets only once a week.

OK, while we're at it, a football game at 7:00 pm on a Thursday night during
the FIRST WEEK OF CLASSES?  I don't know how many players, support students,
band members, etc. have a Thursday night class, but to pull them from the
first night of class (for a Football game) sends a pretty clear message that
academics is not exactly a top priority...

Subject: [UTCSTAFF] WWF on the Day Before School Starts?!?!?!?!?

    I know that the Arena needs to make money, but to schedule a large event
on the

day before UTC starts classes-you could hardly pick a worse day.  Students
are 

still coming in to move into the dorms, or coming back after moving in
earlier.  They

cannot find any place to park, and if they did get to a parking lot before
it filled up,

we asked to pay $5 to park.  Faculty had a hard time as well if they needed
to get

into their offices, as campus security is tied up with the event at the
Arena.  All the

street parking was taken up by those attending the WWF event.

 

   It is things like this which give students the impression that they are
not a top

priority on this campus.  There was no notice sent out to the campus or the
students

that this event was even happening.
