Surprise! You're dropped!

Ah ha ha ha haaah! I know I shouldn't find this funny, but I think it's hysterical.

Like many students, Seth Douglas didn't know what to make of an official UA e-mail sent to him Monday night. The message said some of his classes had been dropped because he had not completed the necessary prerequisites. "I was kind of worried because I'm a senior, and I need my classes to graduate," said Douglas, who is majoring in management information systems...

The message was meant to go out to only 208 Culverhouse College of Commerce and Business Administration students who had failed some fall classes and were not eligible to take certain courses this semester, UA Registrar Michael George said...But because of a technical mix-up, the e-mail was sent to all 21,750 UA students Monday night, said Shane Merritt, director of network and computer support for UA Information Technology.

Expect heavy drinking from traumatized UA students this weekend. Well, even heavier drinking.
