[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD signed a COVID code of conduct at the begging of the fall term.  If someone left quarantine/isolate (like your kid did), they would be suspended for the term and declared persona non grata on campus.  This is a VA school.  One that only had about 1% of the student body get infected in the fall.

People took it seriously and it worked.[/quote]

What if she hadn’t signed? Would they have allowed her to attend? If not, doesn’t seem like she had much of a choice. [/quote]

It was part of the housing contract.  [/quote]

So she was forced to sign to live on campus? Again, seems like it was forced. [/quote]

Attending college is optional. There is no law guaranteeing anyone a college education, much less a college education during which a student can cherry-pick which rules to follow.

On the other side of the table, no college has any obligation to accept any particular student. I’d be perfectly comfortable to see kids only be admitted if they agreed to the rules and then suspended for violating them. Second violation could be expulsion with no refund on tuition.

Your arguments about how your student should not have to follow rules that they agree to follow makes you sound like a child, which tells me about all I need to know about your student’s willingness to follow rules and accept consequences. Nice little sociopaths you’re raising, I’m sure. [/quote]

And you sound like a dictator. [/quote]
