IMO rather than reacting with condemnation and threats, Syracuse should have reacted by facilitating the development of safe social norms, placing tables in X patterns outside and telling students that they are free to gather but have to remain on opposite sides of the tables. People often do this naturally anyway and it would be sufficient to enforce safe distancing.
- admiral33 6y agoGood strategy. It's easy to sit in a high chair and look down on college students while working from home. In reality the students that stringently follow their University's health and safety strategy this year will be in a mentally distressing situation. Curfew - dorm room isolation - omniscient professors (attendance and participation). The whole country watching you with shameful eyes. Imagine being a young adult who has no real place in the world yet - learning from everyone in your life that you should work hard so you can go to college and have a shot at carving one out for yourself - and the moment you arrive our culture flips the script and calls you a murderer for going.
