Administration initially expressed concern over students leaving campus during the week of March 22 (recently coined \u201cSpring Break\u201d). \u201cTo keep students here, we may have to restrict access to the <\/span>Maroon<\/span><\/i> to devices on campus,\u201d announced the Chairman of the Board. \u201cThat should do it,\u201d the board agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a concern until administration released a collection of special Spring Break Activities for on-campus students. Following an email announcing these developments, reports say, all hotels within a 5-mile radius immediately booked to capacity. Students cancelled plans to return home over break, their families opting instead to travel to Chicago for a rich variety of activities and programs offered by the University, including: spending time on a virtual campus; brand new, limited-time, historic sites; online coloring books that you\u2019re not allowed to use if you leave campus; and playlists that, again, you\u2019re not allowed to use if you leave campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The University is especially pleased to launch its inaugural \u201cSpringtime in Chicago\u201d initiative, offering for the first time an assortment of tulips, museums, and restaurants. Dean Boyer, who spearheaded this project, advised against the dangers of experiencing these attractions in-person: \u201cWe\u2019d like to stress that these exciting activities, unique to our University community, are most safely and thoroughly enjoyed from the solitary confinement of a dark room.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite these warnings, the University has been unable to keep unsafe numbers from storming its campus \u2013 the physical one too, but mostly the virtual one. Fearing backlash from the University\u2019s irate COVID-19 Safety Committee, who \u201cknew the springtime thing was a terrible idea all along,\u201d Dean Boyer is rumored to have fled. He was last seen cycling 18 miles south of campus, moving at \u201cdangerous speeds,\u201d reports say. Administration asks that folks reading this keep an eye out, promising a large sum in exchange for his return.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
