I’m invited!

The Board of Regents is visiting campus, and I found this invitation slipped under my office door. (Not from the Regents, obviously.)

This is clearly a dig at a certain regent who made some stupid comments. I’d like to go, except…

1. My attendance would contribute nothing to diversity
2. Nobody from the Board of Regents will bother to show up
3. That’s my birthday! Can’t I find a better way to celebrate it?

My counterarguments would be…

1. But it would show that even old white men support diversity
2. I care what the students think, not the Board of Regents
3. No.

I guess that’s my Thursday evening planned out then.
