Cry Closet
Three school years before hosting the 2020 vice-presidential debate, a queer student in a woodworking class built a "cry closet" which was later installed in the middle of a campus library.[4] The news went viral with a female student's tweet stating, "so my school installed a cry closet in the library LMFAOOOOOOOOO what is higher education" but later replied to her own tweet claiming, "a point of clarification: this was designed and built by a student and cost nothing to the student body or the school, so for everyone bitching about the use of school funds, pls rest easy".[5] While the university responded that the "cry closet was a joke, there are reasons to doubt it as University of Michigan Law School took down from their website that they gave Play-Doh and coloring books from their website following the 2016 United States presidential election when trying to help students cope with Trump Derangement Syndrome.[6]
