Has the country gone soft?

It gets worse at uni. They spent all week telling us that transport problems are not accepted as a reason the miss compulsory classes. Then at 1247 yesterday they sent an email out cancelling all classes for the afternoon. A lot of bus routes had been pulled by then and most of those who were going in would have been in already so they might have been stuck.
I wasn’t going in anyway since it was only one lecture and not compulsory. Not sure how they will manage it now that it didn’t go ahead and was therefore not recorded
