Believe me, college faculty members will be some of the most vulnerable people on campus. They're thinking about it.[/quote]

Another professor here. I’m definitely concerned. My students are not more important to me than my children. If I am pressured to teach in person and don’t feel it is safe to do so, I will move my courses online. I am not beholden to parents’ wishes. Your kids are not more important to me than mine.

Absolutely. If the situation is like now or worse, and they force us to teach ftf, I will ask for an unpaid leave. If I can't get that, which is possible as I don't see how they can find people to fill in for my classes, I will try to buy a gas mask and hazmat outfit and stand in front of the classroom pressing buttons to deliver my pre-recorded lectures (I doubt one can lecture well in that kind of gear). Only half kidding. But I am very worried about DH and losing tenure over this. But it's better that we lose tenure than that our kids end up losing one or both parents. To the other profs out there, do you think they can force us to teach f2f?
Young adults won't social distance during study groups, avoid parties etc. all semester long, for the benefit of their professors and dining room staff. Not to even mention the petri dishes, or dormitories. [/quote]
