Trust in the system is at an all-time low. At Amherst College, the administration decided shortly before Spring Break that students should not return after the break in order not to bring back coronavirus to campus and spread it there. There would be accommodations when necessary. There was a sit-in to protest against the very sensible decision. One would think that at the second-best college in the nation the administration would be aware that some students may have difficulties coming up with emergency funds for travel, that there may be travel bans or that some students might not wish to return to unstable living conditions at home. But the students did not trust the system to work for them. Some stage sit-ins, others buy firearms.
