College adds ‘Cry Closet’ for stressed-out students

Via NY Post

Students at the University of Utah will have the opportunity to relieve stress during finals week by locking themselves in the school’s Cry Closet for a short period of time.

A student’s tweet about the Cry Closest went viral Tuesday.

The small room in the middle of the Marriott Library on the Salt Lake City campus features a narrow door with dark lining, a plush floor and stuffed animals inside, according to FOX13 Salt Lake City.

“A Safe Place for Stressed Out Students,” a note on the door reads. “This space is meant to provide a place for students studying for finals to take a short 10-minute break.”

Jana Cunningham, the school’s communications specialist, told the station that the Cry Closet is mainly for students who are feeling overwhelmed with the stresses of finals.

“It’s a great place to just come and decompress, and that’s really what it’s for,” she said.

One Twitter user blasted the school as “pathetic” for installing the room in the library.

“This is beyond pathetic, first we tried to have Swoop be our mascot now this,” the user wrote. “Way to prepare students for the real world. Wonder how many prospective employers have cry closets?”

Swoop, a red-tailed hawk, became the university’s sports mascot after depictions of American Indians were dropped.

The school said the cry closet will come down next Wednesday, once finals are finished.

You call it a “cry closet”. I call it my masturbatorium.

Just last week PENN STATE outlawed hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and camping …. because the State University’s 98-year-old Outing Club is no longer permitted to go outside …… because administrators believe that it’s too daaaaaangerous!

LMFAO!!!

Penn State Forbids Outing Club from Going Outside Because It’s Too Dangerous

I got my MS in Comp Sci from Penn State (1971). Looks like it’s become just another shit-hole college. What’s actually dangerous is the liberal / progressive / lgbq-tranny / commie shit they feed the students.

I would say ‘fuck them’ – but Sandusky beat me to it.

Dutchista, there’s already a good chance an Angelino would do that, I doubt these folks are going to travel 2,000 miles to rape anybody.

They are coming to steal what we have, and get a payday. Why don’t they go to Mexico, or Venezuela, or Peru, or Brasil, or Argentina, or Chile? At least all those countries speak Spanish (well Brasil is Portuguese).

It is because those countries don’t have welfare. Anon – you are part of the problem: America is Committing Suicide. Do us a favor – do it to yourself.

You first, Dutchman. Go sit on a grape stake.
200 asylum seekers and you act like it’s the end of the world.
The CBP said they are closed, so solly. Well, they said they were at their max workload for the day. Typical govt tactic. They will play hacky sack until the migrants give up or actually grow desperate enough to jump the fence and get arrested which will make it quite easy for the BP to deport and ban them forever. Meanwhile, you and the rest of the basement dwellers here blew a gasket for nothing.

Your being played like a cheap fiddle, Dutchy. Where was the outrage when the Cubans were being cheered in on a red carpet last year by the very CBP that today is too busy?

They come to rape the taxpayers, the communities, the workers, and a few women, as needed.

As an alumnus of UofUtah I am embarrassed for them. Stress is a GIVEN in life, what are they going to do when the real world comes at them (and no crying closet is available)?
The culling will be painful and extensive, this fourth turning.

I wish I had the contract to build and supply these cry closets to universities. I’d install door handles that only opened from the outside. Once inside, you stayed inside. The closets could then be easily transported to the landfill.

My company’s motto would be: One problem solved at a time.
