[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want students to go back in person, these are the measures you need to accept.  If they were lenient about it, they risk a wider outbreak that shuts down the entire program for all students.   They've paid for the hotel space and calculated a budget based on a certain amount of tuition payments -  you can't have it both ways.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is arguing students can have it both ways. The question is whether the punishment fits the crime. Does it? Expelling kids is a dramatic act. Why expel rather than send them home for the year? Does expelling kids for something like this serve as a worthy example to other students, or will it only cause outrage and a sense of unfairness due to the excessive nature of the punishment.

Northeastern isn't coming out looking well. [/quote]

College students are adults (no one jump on me they are mostly over 18, adults) that means they are responsible for their own actions. It's not like they do not know the ramifications of covid, and that they were not told the rules before returning to campus.

Just because their tiny brains are not formed completely and we all know they do stupid things, yes they should be expelled. They knew the consequences. And their actions affect others. Selfish and I have zero empathy. [/quote]
