When asked by students why they didn’t get the day off on a federal holiday, University officials responded with hostility.

“It’s Labor Day, not rest day,” they said in a statement. “You ungrateful students should be doing work - it’s literally in the name.”

The statement also cautioned students to “not get too whiny” and threatened to eliminate fall break and hold classes on Thanksgiving Day if complaints continued.
