The University of Alabama is canceling three days of classes for a football game in January. The university’s representative notes that “the three canceled class days will not be made up elsewhere on the calendar.”
Meanwhile: The University of Wisconsin closed for one day last week when the city got 17.5 inches of snow. Professor Lester Hunt notes that it’s the only closing he’s experienced “in the quarter century I’ve been employed here.”
Hmmmm: Does UW need to get more serious about sports — or does UA need to get more serious about education?
