This would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic  Students at the University of Utah will have the opportunity to relieve stress during finals week by locking themselves in the school’s Cry Closet for a short period of time. The small room in the middle of the Marriott Library on the Salt Lake City campus features a narrow door with dark lining, a plush floor and stuffed animals inside, according to FOX13 Salt Lake City. “A Safe Place for Stressed Out Students,” a note on the door reads. "This space is meant to provide a place for students studying for finals to take a short 10 minute break.” Jana Cunningham, the school’s communications specialist, told the station that the Cry Closet is mainly for students who are feeling overwhelmed with the stresses of finals. "It's a great place to just come and decompress, and that's really what it's for," she said. One Twitter user blasted the school as “pathetic” for installing the room in the library. “This is beyond pathetic, first we tried to have Swoop be our mascot now this,” the user wrote. “Way to prepare students for the real world. Wonder how many prospective employers have cry closets?” Swoop, a red-tailed hawk, became the university's sports mascot after depictions of American Indians were dropped. The school said the cry closet will come down next Wednesday, once finals are finished. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018...ess-final-exams.html | ||

They-- these university administrators, and those like them all across the country-- don't realize the incredible harm they are doing in cultivating feeble whiners who can't stand up to any kind of adversity. A cry closet!!! I hope somebody fills it with tarantulas. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

You have to have a written contract for that now and it could be stressful worrying about having all the T's crossed and I's dotted | |||

They see it as a cry closet but I see it as a jack shack. _____________ | |||

That was my first thought, how many work places have cry closets with stuffed animals? "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I wonder if you asked a Senior Chief or a Chief where the cry closet was on board ? Would love to watch the response. | |||

Well these are the same idiots that will be bringing their parents to their job interviews, so there's that..... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Once they get into the business world maybe they will have "cry conference rooms". What the heck is up with kids today? | |||

I'm just glad it's not the private university down I-15 where my son is a student. The administration there seems to have their head screwed on correctly. P229 | |||

There used to be a PBS show called "Caillou." I would not let my kids watch the show. Caillou was always... sad. He was always being soothed and rescued from whatever frightened or upset him. He was the original snowflake. These are all Caillou kids. And the administrators are the parents who encouraged the whiney little shit. A cry closet.... Life will eat these kids up in one bite. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

Those gender studies, ethnic diversity, lesbian Irish oppression, microgresion white men suck, basket weaving and athletic degrees must be oh so more hard than I supposed. If you can't get your undergrad degree in those, how the hell are you ever going to get your PHD? Unless, of course, your ballbusting momma comes to your rescue from those awful cops? You'll never be a able to get that PHD and a cushy job as an ethics dean at the university! Sarcasm? Maybe not. It's here now near you. Grow up and grow a pair. Jeez | |||
