My Editorializing:

The students organized and hosted the celebration for 29 years, within 5 years of taking over, the UW administration is cancelling them.  I don't have much respect left for UW administration.

It's the flip side of the St. Patrick's Day festivities. UW doesn't want to host an event with 60,000 people. I couldn't verify the claims that attendance has been increasing; there was 70,000 for the 150th anniversary but the 60,000 seems pretty stable.

I also wonder if the administration took it over after the students didn't want to do it anymore / no longer have the capacity to do so.
