HR Simulation Final Report Extension

Unfortunately Case's e-mail server is not the most reliable form of communication. The server went down the night before the HR simulation final report was due. Because of this inconvienence, the due date for the report was extended 24 hours. I understand that a lack of e-mail access can hinder a group's performance, but the extension is a little unfair to those who took either the precation of preparing their report ahead of time or made extra efforts to use other forms of communication.

When I realized the e-mail wasn't working I called my group leader, he gave us his phone number in case of situations such as this, and got his screen name so that I could send my part to him over AIM. He then contacted the rest of the group to do the same.
When professors give such accomodations it is misleading to the student. In the real world, managers will not give their employees such extensions.
