There are an overwhelming number of comments here assuming this policy is enacted in such a way that it ignores the challenges of underprivileged students.
Who are these commenters. Why do they assume this.
What is going on.
MIT (and many other higher education providers) seem to be trying to preempt the spread of a disease.
If someone has specific, concrete, information about someone who is harmed by this and whose difficulties are ignored by administration, of course, comment!
But all this hypothetical speculation feels mean spirited.
- majos 7y agoAt least one Harvard undergrad has pointed out concrete flaws in implementation of this policy, and how it affects him personally [1]. That said, I also sympathize with administrators, who had to pick a course of action in a chaotic environment and make it work.
