I am visiting my father this weekend. My S.O. and I took a walk on the campus of the private residential social justice academy/college in his town.
There were a few kids walking on the track without masks. There are signs that masks are mandatory. No one was in the college center but the two of us. All the couches had been removed and chairs put six feet apart. The bulletin board was completely empty, but then again, I guess there is no point advertising meetings and events that shouldn’t be taking place according to the college’s rules.
We only saw about three kids walking from someplace on campus to another place.
We didn’t see anyone in town who looked like they were a student from the college.
It was so eerie. It would have been less eerie-feeling to have seen an actual ghost.
It’s been absolutely lovely weather-wise.
“Breschard also expressed a sentiment that many other student leaders and dissenters at the College have expressed: that the administration cares more about public image and financial gain than the fiscal and academic well-being of its students. He believes that “the college is putting money over health by sending us home early, cutting their own expenses, in exchange for risking the lives of our parents and loved ones.”
I picked up the college newspaper at the college I walked at. One opinion writer discussed how “unsafe” she felt. She complained that the college has all these pain in the ass restrictive policies for students but allows prospective students and their parents to visit seemingly at will because all the college cares about is getting money.
