More notably, some Fairfield University students like Dermot Warner ‘24 were not in attendance for the events that transpired at Santa Con and are still facing the consequences.

“I was studying abroad in Ireland last semester so I wasn’t here for Santa Con,” Warner shared. “It would have been nice to have the option to invite a friend to Clam Jam.”

Senior Madison Clancy also expresses her “extreme disappointment.”

“I do not think that it is fair to punish the junior and senior class for actions that were not caused by them and have it reflect our next memorable school event,” Clancy stated. “Many of my friends, myself included, are upset that we can’t bring our significant others to join in on this fun event.”

Senior Hailey Johnston echoed this. “Getting the news that Fair eld decided to not allow guests to Clam Jam this year was incredibly disappointing. I think that it is unfair to pin the irresponsible actions of many on such a small group of students who were largely not the cause at all.”

Johnston noted further, “As a senior, I have been looking forward to this year’s Clam Jam since 2019 and since then have planned on bringing my signi cant other who has supported all of the other Fair eld events throughout the years,” and continued, “I am incredibly disappointed by Fair eld’s decision to punish seniors in our nal few weeks at this school and hope they can take the time to re ect on di erent ways this situation could have been handled.”
