University of Kansas hires old people to make sure athletes aren’t skipping class

Skipping class isn’t easy for Kansas Jayhawks. Student athletes, just like other college kids, are prone to blowing off class to catch up on sleep or just because they don’t want to go. To make sure Jayhawks are actually going to class, the University of Kansas has hired “a brigade of senior citizens hellbent on making sure they go to class — and stay there,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

The blue hairs have replaced student “class checkers,” whom KU found weren’t so interested in going to class either (duh) and could be “all-too-easily charmed by the most popular students on campus” (double duh). Are you really going to snitch on Josh Selby? Hell, former Jayhawk Greg Ostertag married his student spy.
