Jeff, would this whole thread qualify as something we should report to you? The title of the thread is: "Harvard cancelled classes because they lost the election." It sounds as if HU--as an institution--cancelled all classes due to the election results. When you actually read the linked article (which is actually an opinion piece, not a news article), the first mention of cancelled classes is: "Instead of motivating students to take the results in stride, professors and administrators offered lemon bars, converted their offices into election processing spaces for grieving students, [b]canceled classes,[/b] and made quizzes optional." So, it turns out that [i]some[/i] professors cancelled classes; the university as a whole did not. It's not even clear how many classes were cancelled. Since it was an opinion piece, the author did not have to do any fact-checking or cite sources. A lot of bickering ensued, on both sides, without anyone bothering to verify the accuracy of the title--I'm not sure they even read the article. I think the thread was just meant to trigger the inevitable responses that it did, in fact, trigger. So, is this the type of article we should report? Just trying to figure out what is reasonable.
