Also, gonna be frank.

IF HARVARD DOESN& #39;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& #39;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& #39;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& #39;t want to get sued.)
I mean, no. I also really hope my University doesn& #39;t kill a student through poor policies?
Also, I see this tweet got ... Some attention while I was away.
