I have seen class canceled on days that were nice, there just happen to be lots of snow. On these days people could have gotten to class and the streets were clear to drive on, you just had to be motivated enough to dig yourself out of the drive way.
But on days like today it is dangerous to get from class to class. That's the point to snow days right? To keep us safe. It was 11:30am before I saw public safety deicing the sidewalks between the buildings. At 10:45am it was to dangerous to get from main campus out to west center because of the ice. I decided to skip class to save myself.
My fear of the ice comes from last year, right before valentines day, I feel on the ice and hurt myself quite badly. It took weeks for me to heal. While it is funny to watch people fall on the ice, the safety of students needs to be considered. It is even unsafe driving in the parking lots on campus.
Most people that do fall won't report it either. This is a problem because when falls on campus go unreported then the university doesn't know how dangerous it really is. This leads them to continue to let students walk to class in unsafe conditions.
Today is worse then any of the snow days I've seen the school give. Why is no one concerned for our safety?
