Fredonia responds to UB transfer ad by putting own ads in UB newspaper

After seeing a controversial new ad out in The Leader newspaper, the Fredonia faculty board decided to retaliate in a story for the ages.

The ad was a simple yet striking one, saying “You should be here. Transfer today.” In fact, you can flip to the other page now to look at it if you’d like.

However, the faculty was not happy with this.

“They should not be using this language to coerce our students to transfer,” Dr. Franklin, professor of analytics said. “We may be doing nothing to combat the fact that UB is a generally superior school in every way, but that doesn’t mean we can’t fight back.”

In a sweeping vote, the faculty voted to put an ad in the Spectrum newspaper, UB’s student newspaper, to combat this.

According to the Spectrum, the ad reads “Hey assholes, come to Fredonia. We may not be better than UB at much, but at least we have a great dining hall in the basement of the Williams Center , a plethora of parking spaces and prompt snow removal services.”

Ouch, right where it hurts.

As a Fredonia student myself, I am glad the faculty is focused on this issue, rather than something that’s not important, like the crumbling debt or massive program cuts.
