Does George Washington University know something the pollsters don't?
/University sets up post-election counseling services, advises students to batten down the hatches.
George Washington University is encouraging students to seek therapy following the election, while warning students to prepare for Election Day “as you would for a hurricane or a snowstorm,” by encouraging students to stock up on supplies.
In an email sent to students and obtained by the Daily Caller, the D.C. university said counseling and psychological services would be available over the next few weeks and encouraged students to utilize the available services.
“You or your friends may experience a number of reactions following the election,” the email reads. “Having a reaction is both normal and expected. Sometimes emotional aftershocks or stress reactions appear immediately and some may appear in a few hours or several days/weeks after.”
But wait, but wait. What if the precious darlings want to scoot from the safe rooms for a little window-smashing, and there’s like, a test scheduled, or something? No worries, that falls under the category of “election-related activity” (not to be pronounced by Japanese students, lest a misunderstanding and a slap ensue) and your pater familias has you covered:
The school is also offering “academic assistance” to students who may face “academic difficulty that may be related to election-related activity.”
Phew! (Cost of sa year at this august institution: $74,160.)
