It's been no secret that only a couple weeks into the start of the fall semester, colleges across the US are struggling to keep COVID-19 numbers down, with some schools already reporting hundreds of confirmed cases, and others quickly shutting down in-person classes a mere days after starting back up, when numbers merely reached 130 infected, as recently happened with University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
Schools have imposed strict measures while threatening severe punishments for hosting or even attending parties on or off campus, as they're considered potential "super spreader" events. In some instances schools are actually threatening expulsion. But there's rising tensions given students are complaining their high price tag college experiences are turning into "isolation prisons" - as we detailed earlier, yet schools in many cases are collecting full tuition and fees.
But now one major university is driving headlines after making good on its 'max punishment' threat, and all the while pocketing students' full tuition after they were accused of "violating social distancing protocols".

30,000 kids enrolled and 100 are positive not sick. Sad thing this was a ALL BLACK party and I don’t understand the absence of outrage??? I’m calling the dean
ReplyDeleteDuh,why do you think Mike Rowe is making a statement?
ReplyDeleteTheir first lesson of do what we tell you are we will hit u in the pocket. Did they have no warning Were they not told to not do such things? Too bad, so sad.
ReplyDeleteWere they all getting sick and in the ER? Oh, just tested positive like everyone else, huh? Oh, wait, you didn't test them? Just not wearing a mask and being closer than 6 feet is now a $36k fine?
ReplyDeleteGot it.
What are you going to spend the money on?
The thing is, why do we baby children in school and college? The real world is not set up for babies and this is why so many are failing. If you get fired from your job, do they pay you anyway? These kids know what the rules are. If you can't follow them, or don't want to follow them, then don't go to college. These same kids will sue if they get sick. It is so ridiculous how kids behave these days. Our future is ruined.
