I hope Cy's House of Trivia is still on. Was looking forward to that again...
It's not considered a Veishea thing, plus big big donors go to it, its on.

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.
good job, Leath. Right call.

Horrible decision. Even worse if its permanently over.
Crack down on the trouble makers. Don't screw over the vendors, alumni, and responsible students.
My guess would be (and this is a callback to when we had Homecoming issues in high school) that they don't want the kids who get together and work on the floats to have a chance to congregate through an organized event like that.
I'm guessing Warren Madden will do everything in his power to return money but his hands may be tied if they can't identify who purchased tickets. They did say they would try to recoup all costs.I would assume they will refund everyone's money for the concerts?
Why cancel it this year? All you are doing are eliminating the good things. The partying for this coming weekend is already set in motion. Probably just making it worse by cancelling the other stuff.
Why cancel the parade? You're not punishing the rioters by canceling VIESHEA events as they wouldn't be attending them anyway. If you want to punish the rioters, shut down the bars and alcohol sales
I guarantee the students will still rage this week and weekend regardless. It's not like 'rioting' was one of the planned events. It just happens.
