No classes were canceled at Washington State University last week because of the election, school administrators said Monday.

Responding to inquiries sparked by comments last week from state Sen. Mike Baumgartner on Twitter, WSU Provost Dan Bernardo surveyed academic deans and concluded the campus was “operating as usual last week” despite the election.

“At a university the size of WSU, there are some classes canceled almost every day for a variety of reasons,” Bernardo said in an email. “But, after surveying all of our academic deans, I have found no evidence of any classes being canceled last week due to the election.”

Students did organize protests supporting or opposing the election results, he added.

That didn’t satisfy Baumgartner/Jim Camden, SR. More here.
