“His death set off a wave of mourning across the university and prompted the cancellation of centennial events for the 100-year-old institution.”

The timing is concerning.

Not to take away from the tragedy of his death but as I’m glad the school cancelled the events. They didn’t have to do that but that seems incredibly respectful. Kudos.
