It Was You Who Taught Me How To Write These Kinds Of Equations

Today was a pretty slow day for me; I still, however, managed to find a very odd and disturbing news piece. For your enjoyment, here's some news straight from Berlin.

It appears that, while writing an exam, a student with impaired bladder control was forced to pee in a bottle in front of 120 students. All because a couple of professors/teaching assistants/exam supervisors at the University of Freiburg refused to accompany him to the bathroom. It's a shame that people can still be this selfish.

Luckily, at least the University recognizes it as such. Deputy Head Karl-Reinhard Volz wrote a formal apology, stating that the supervisors' behavior was unjustified and "lacking in any normal human sensitivity".

Thanks, Reuters!
