[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Utterly gross. If they think students in close proximity is a health risk, why are they having in-person classes?

30+ students in a tightly packed classroom with 1970s ventilation is far worse than outdoor parties. [/quote]

But which one is more important?[/quote]

I am a professor who teaches in person classes right now. My students are not packed in - they are spaced out. They all wear masks and are respectful of  my space and of each others.

MUCH different than an unmasked party of 200.

Also, if it's SO IMPORTANT that your student gets in-person class experiences, they are going to have to give up parties where they're packed into someone's house.  I have zero problems if they want to get together with friends and play beer pong (preferably outside, but if they MUST they can play in the living room with the windows open) in their social groups. Or have a masked get together.... there are tons of options that aren't a giant packed unmasked party. [/quote]
