Comments on: Staff Editorial: Excuse me, Mr. President http://www.timesdelphic.com/2009/11/23/staff-editorial-excuse-me-mr-president The Student Newspaper for Drake University and Des Moines Since 1884 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:58:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Mike Mago http://www.timesdelphic.com/2009/11/23/staff-editorial-excuse-me-mr-president/comment-page-1#comment-1807 Mike Mago Wed, 09 Dec 2009 06:25:55 +0000 http://www.timesdelphic.com/?p=1885#comment-1807 Excuse me? Two reported sexual assaults are not of concern to the president of the university. This is far from true. When it came time to responding to yet another horrific event that happened to a Drake student, Maxwell, unfortunately responded inappropriately. You obviously don't understand the seriousness of sexual assault. It's offensive to compare the rape of two young women to a Sodexo food issue. Disgusting, Matt. Excuse me?

Give the man a break. He has way more responsibilities to handle than commenting to the student newspaper every time something happens on campus. What's next, Sodexo's latest offering was undercooked and bland? Would that then require an immediate statement from President Maxwell? There is a lot more in terms of what the University does in response to any incidents than the official statement(s) for which you are now clamoring. Why not interview the head of campus security to get his take on the situation, and what his department is doing in response? TD writers are on their high horses again. Give the man a break.
