Email my kid received:

Due to the global cyberattack that has taken Canvas offline at universities across the country, all final exams and assignments, including papers, projects, etc., scheduled for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday are postponed. For the sake of consistency and clarity, the university is extending this policy to all classes, including those that don't currently utilize Canvas.

Don't take offense, better make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

Seems extreme. The problem has already been resolved.*

there's no doubt that the overuse of tech in the classroom is having a negative effect on education.
