Some Harvard classes cancelled to allow students to come to
terms with result
Professors at Harvard University cancelled classes or told students that
attendance was optional on Wednesday out of concern for their wellbeing
after Trump’s landslide victory, Fox News reports.
“I had some professors that have been like, ‘If you need to not come to class,
that’s understandable’,” one student told the student newspaper. “This
definitely takes a toll on people’s mental wellbeing.”
Economics lecturer Maxim Boycko told students: “Feel free to take time off if
needed.”
Another student reported being stunned by the result, saying that she was
surrounded by Harris fans at university and had therefore expected her to
win.
