I just wanted to take this time to recognize the tragedy of 9/11.    At school today it was if nothing had ever happened.  Not one instructor made mention to it.  As I was walking to school, however, I noticed the flags were half staff, which I thought was honorable and necessary.  After reading the paper, I came to find that the reason they are half staff is because they are honoring the death of a professor who was accused of sexually harrassing students and then proceeded to kill himself.  Hm.

Are we already that distracted?
