I hope you are joking. Ants are not life and death. Good God. She should be fined for riding that bus. |

Yes, they have a lot of commuters. It is up to them if they choose to attend in person. |

Insane. The parents were the ones objecting to "no guests in rooms" AND helping kids violate it by staying as guests themselves? Then those parents have no leg to stand on when their own kid gets infected. Zero sympathy for those families. Let me guess -- parents were complaining that "my child needs to be able to socialize and can't do that if you ban visitors in rooms" or some self-centered nonsense like that, right? These are the people who keep the pandemic going and going. |

My heart goes out to her for catching Covid and the school's terrible treatment of her. Would you still think good for her re: taking the bus if it were your loved one she infected while riding it? |

I feel for the RAs at all the college campuses. They are having to deal kids who have the same attitudes we see from their parents in the viral video. |

I am the pp. I can't believe the posts I'm reading online. It isn't uncommon for them to begin with "I am so outraged at XXX University". I have two in college and the posts are almost exactly the same even though their universities couldn't be more different. The one in the red state is much worse. There was so much of the "my poor child is in prison" posts. One of my kid's schools made it in the press and rumors are that 100 or so are going to be suspended. There were parents talking about getting lawyers their logic being no one should expect the students to behave in any other way. The students had to sign a covid conduct contract and also and an addendum was added to the on campus living contract. It is clear that students and parents showed up and were unfamiliar with the contents of both. |

The universities and/or the boards that govern the schools are completely at fault in this. In UNC's case there was pressure from the state and the governing board. My kid's school also had a lot of pressure from parents and the state. This school is in a red state.
Anyone with two functioning brain cells could predict what we are seeing. What kind of people were willing to send their freshman kids into this experiment? If you read the plan at my kid's school, they made it clear that they couldn't guarantee this could be managed. It seemed like they were saying "please do not send your children back to us" while being forced to say "we have a good plan and will work to keep your kids safe". |

She was very delirious and they weren’t giving her enough food and water. |

| My kid’s school said you could request a waiver for cause if she wanted to go virtual. We asked for one, and are now so glad that we did! |

So, she crammed 7 people into her dorm room, which has to be violation of the rules, then walked around campus while waiting for a test result, and then took the bus knowing she was positive. Because of rust stains on her sink, she broke into a different room, and then complained about ants? She should be expelled. |

Smith never opened. As an alum, I was surprised. They had moved to only half the students (freshmen/sophs in the fall; juniors/seniors in the spring). But, I had heard that faculty were completely against it. |

I think that at all but very southern or conservative schools most faculty are against it. You won't hear about this, but the dissent is clear, palpable, and voiced very loud internally. |
