As a college professor I am all too well-acquainted with how many students phone in some last-minute bullshit. And that's for papers that are assigned to get them to do the reading, not implemented to reduce rates of sexual assault. I can't imagine having to sift through all the responses to this assignment that were completed at 11:59pm on Thursday. And most likely begun at 11:53pm on Thursday.
Can we kickstarter a booze and / or chocolate and pizza fund for the people who have to read these? My guess is that they are going to be depressing.
