Thread of my convo w Ham after posting this screen recording w/ v.o. on Facebook. Sharing these msgs esp for the last bit where Ham asks what I think current students wanna see, & bc I think Ham should have responded publicly to begin with. (1/?)
i also commented on the sports post on facebook asking them to see my post I’d tagged them in. They responded to my comment in a dm. (2/?)
Their 3rd response, where they ask abt how to use social meds to reflect current student experiences. (7/?)
At this point, I don’t think I can make myself any clearer. I don’t think I should have to explain these things to an institution with professional social media accounts, but what else am I going to do whilst stuck jobless outside the US? (10/?)
Per their last msg, Hamilton *seems* to want to know what current students want to see. I told them to j ask y’all (wild concept!) Will they do so? Who knows. (11/?)
Especially wild to me that they ask that q, as if y’all haven’t been saying the things you need for how long now? Maybe it’s a lack of creativity on how to make a cute post abt ur wants/needs/demands lol idk idk (12/?)
Ok welp that “Thanks!” is a conversation-ender if I’ve ever seen one. So maybe this thread was pointless, but now I’m curious if any current students actually get to have convos like this w the school. Does the school respond ever? (13/?)
Do I get a response bc I’m an alumn who can potentially give the school more money? They seemed to really take those positive alumni comments on the sports post seriously, so perhaps. (14/?)
But if current students will become alumni/potential donors, isn’t it bad business practice to ignore them? Any econ majors wanna weigh in here lol (15/?)
idfk if sharing this was helpful at all, but if ur a current student, pls know I’m rooting for u. i’m so removed from the thick of it, but from my standpoint i j see students continuously screaming at walls, & that’s not fair. (16/?)
