In a press conference Thursday morning, Acting Vice Dean Bill Remerson stated that the first annual Hachey Commons Rodeo “may not have been the best decision,” and the event planning committee “may have to make some changes … for next year’s event.”

The Hachey Commons Rodeo was the first event of its kind on any Law School campus in America, and was modeled after a similar event at Ricardo Montalban School of Law in Coahuila, Mexico. Unfortunately, William Mitchell’s version of the indoor, close-quarter rodeo did not go as planned.

During the very first bull ride, several waiting animals, including a bronco and two enraged bulls, got loose. Four students were injured by the flailing animals. Two vending machines and several tables were also destroyed before the animals were finally restrained.

Because of the catastrophe, plans for other William Mitchell Fall Events, such as the Whal Center Joust and the Burger Library Chainsaw Art Competition, have been put on hold indefinitely.
