[quote=Anonymous]One part that I think the students legitimately had reason to complain about was that lectures weren't zoomed or taped so that they could participate if they have Covid.  My kid is a freshman at a different university that requires students to isolate and bars them from returning to class without a negative test before day ten.  That means students are being forced to stay away from class until day 11 after testing positive.  That is stricter than the CDC and many state guidelines.  I understand the public health concerns for a University but they are creating an untenable situation for many students and faculty.  The University my kid is at is like NYU in that they leave it up to professors to decide how to accommodate students who miss class due to Covid.  For my student and some of their Covid positive classmates their professors made it impossible to keep up with the class despite the students reaching out and trying to do work while being forced to quarantine.  This is an institutional problem and with respect to this particular issue the students have a right to complain.  The Universities are incentivizing students not to test and do the right thing because when they do the University does nothing to ensure that they can stay current on their classes if they feel well enough to study.
