Faculty were given permission to cancel classes, not all faculty did so.
Many, like myself, attended because we care enough about the institution
and its heritage. I cancelled no classes, missed no other appointments, but
did take work home for the weekend. No one paid for my involvement in the
inaguration but myself! And, besides, isn't attending to the functions of
the institution a part of our job?
Cheers.
