Very well thought out press conference. President Leath and all those who were involved absolutely made the right decision for the right reasons. Anyone who says otherwise needs to get their priorities straight in my opinion.

Horrible decision. Even worse if its permanently over.

Crack down on the trouble makers. Don't screw over the vendors, alumni, and responsible students.

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't see why they can't have the parade. Most of the students don't care about the parade compared to the number of alum that do. I have been looking forward for weeks to taking my son (who is too young to understand why he can't go to the parade) on Saturday. Not to mention all the students who spent hours and thousands of dollars on the parade.


I have no problem with suspending all nightly activities, concerts, and anything that is at any risk of safety issues. Just don't see why we can't keep the parade. Very upset as an alum.

Police chief is doing a nice job. Keeping the focus on the few and not the whole population

Students, and I know it's just a minority of students, picked a bad year to pull this kind of crap. You've got a fairly fresh perspective sitting in the president's office and I don't think it's any surprise that he looked at the history and wondered why it hadn't already been killed. It's too bad that a lot of things that were more than an excuse to get wasted will get killed as collateral damage here, but its hard to say that it's not the right call at this point.
