War Moratorium
UPS FACULTY
The rest of the faculty believed that classes should be canceled on 11/14 in remembrance of those who died and that the classes taking place on 11/13 should discuss the Vietnam war
This was not believed to be practical and the decision was left to the individual professors discretion about whether or not they would devote time on 11/13 to discuss the war
The school of Business Administration was the most against the moratorium. Students of the school even calculated how much money they were losing by missing classes because of the moratorium
UPS ADMINISTRATION
