Also, gonna be frank.

IF HARVARD DOESN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO MAKE IN PERSON EDUCATION SAFE IN THE FALL, DO YOU SERIOUSLY THINK ANYONE ELSE DOES.

Folks are arguing in my mentions about the whyyyyy...
First, yeah. I think it is "easier" at some level because Harvard doesn't think students will leave for other options.

And also? All grouchy cynicism aside - I would wildly prefer to be in person, of course.

I think if you were to ask most folks who teach, we would, without a doubt, prefer to be in person.

And we're in the middle of a continually rising tide of COVID-19, where the highest risk seems to be *enclosed spaces with recirculated air*. So, most of our classrooms.

Now, I have not read the round of papers coming out about COVID-19 being airborne, but there seems to be enough noise for it to be worrying. And HVAC overhauls are possible but pretty big infrastructure projects.

(Could Harvard buy its way out? *STARES IN ENDOWMENT*)

But can it and should it are not trivial questions.

(Also, people are mentioning they don't want to get sued.)
I mean, no. I also really hope my University doesn't kill a student through poor policies?

Also, I see this tweet got ... Some attention while I was away.
