This summer at the community college where my wife teaches the board of trustees discussed if the college would require vaccinations and masks. The academic senate rose up as one, like a bunch of union welders, and said "If you don't require them, we won't be teaching!" The president of the college said "Like heck you won't!"Whereupon the faculty said "You will require proof of vaccine and the wearing of masks FROM EVERY PERSON WHO STEPS FOOT ON OUR CAMPUS!" The president responded "If you demand that as a condition of your teaching contract, I'll quit!"The Trustees sighed and said "OK, we accept your resignation."
The trustees just hired a new interim president for this year and are starting a search for the next president. Classes just started, and every person on campus checks in each day and wears a wristband in today's color. And the faculty is feeling kind of good about themselves.
3 hours late, but I spoke recently with a college student who struggled with online classes last fall and so found a tutor to meet with several days a week who acted as an 'accountability coach', and then set up a small space to study away from the bedroom or any devices. It worked and they're keeping it going, doing all classes online this year as well.
From faculty reports, it seems that few Aggies at Texas A&M are masking which will surely lead to a tsunami of new Aggie jokes soon. Sample: How many Aggies does it take to screw in a light bulb? Three. One to hold the bulb and two to turn the ladder. Though I'll bet the new jokes will be more somber.
If the course was in fact absolutely necessary for Hannah Banana's graduation and not getting to take it will screw up her financial aid and possibly any internships or jobs she's lined up, I would take her behind the bleachers and not for a kiss.
In the winter at the resort no employees locked their car doors. It just wasn't worth the hassle of getting off shift and finding that the locks had frozen.
Probably an excellent idea. I only have personal experience with HPV and it's a bitch. You don't survive the cancer - if you're lucky, you survive the treatment.
IIRC the football team isn't playing a full season because CoVid. They would have much chance at conference championship or post season (if there are any).

Good for them.

Agreed. First, I pitied them and their family. Now, I just feel sorry for their family. Don't believe in evolution? Darwin don't care.
As a colleague from Georgia once said: Why the fuck is the milk in a bladder?

The jokes are up in the3 Governor's office.
IIRC, he's now the fourth RWNJ radio asshole to have dropped dead this month. I call this a start.
If it's Texas A&M (A = Agricultural, of course) then the jokes will just have to include ones about ivermectin.
What college is this and where do I sign up?!

It wasn't out of nowhere. We were egregiously provoked.
That and we couldn't speak Quebequese.
