Seriously??
Plymouth State University community advisor Kirsten Elizabeth is doing what she can to help students cope with their emotions following Tuesday's historic election.
"Today during my office hours, 4PM to 7PM, I will be bringing my personal coloring books, crayons, markers and colored pencils for anyone to use in order to de-stress and relax from the election results," she posted to Facebook.
"Please do not hesitate to reach for help, whether it is to me, the rest of the Community Advisor and Residential Life University Apartment staff, the Counseling Center, the Helping Center, your friends and family or your professors," Elizabeth wrote. "None of you are alone."
At least one economics professor at Yale University is also taking it easy on students reeling from Clinton's loss by making their mid-term exam optional, according to a copy of an email he sent to students that
Yale Daily News editor Jon Victor posted to
Twitter.
"I am getting many heartfelt notes from students who are in shock over the election returns. (Although as I wrote this the election has not been called.) The ones I find most upsetting are those who fear, rightly or wrongly, for their own families," the Econ 115 professor wrote. "Therefore, I am making the exam optional."
At Yale and many other schools students were traumatized and overwhelmed by Trump's win, and university officials have moved to soothe their sensibilities.
