Recently Employed Senior Decommits From Group Project

Last Thursday, senior industrial distribution major Alexander Kauser announced his decision to decommit from his group project for his Ethics in Leadership and Distribution class. The announcement came hours after Kauser accepted a full-time position in sales engineering. He then informed his fellow group members that he would be mentally unavailable during group Zoom meetings to focus on researching the most gentrified apartments in East Austin to live in after graduation.

Historically, seniors who receive job offers before graduation fail to complete an adequate share of group project work when compared with their unemployed counterparts. Students without employment offers typically compensate for the fact their future is completely unclear by applying themselves to the only thing they can control.

Despite his reluctance to participate in the group project, Kauser declined to rule out whether or not he would recommit to the group shortly before the project is due. While employed seniors like Kauser do not necessarily need a high grade, their involvement must be sufficient to secure the mediocre evaluation from their peers required to pass the class.

“If I rejoin the group closer to the deadline, I’ll offer to submit our completed project to our professor,” Kauser said. “After all of the effort they have put into our project, doing the little stuff is the least I can do.”
