A social media photograph of three UMass Amherst freshmen—outdoors, off-campus, and not wearing face (masks)—was sent to the university’s administration, which resulted in the girls being (suspended) for one semester, getting banned from taking remote lessons, and needing to reapply for the next semester.
“There was a photo sent to the administration of these girls outside off-campus on a Saturday. This is why they lost a whole semester of their schooling,” Kristin, one of the parents, told CBS.
[snip]UMass Amherst released a statement about the incident, saying that they had warned about the consequences of not complying with the rules.
“Students received a number of public health messages this semester that emphasized the importance of following public health protocols and the consequences for not complying, and those messages were also shared on UMass social media channels.”
loss of a semester, in terms of tuition and mandatory fees, of something like $20,000; plus, there is the delay of entry into the work force of a half a year or maybe a year, say another $100,000. This kind of fine is excessive, per the 8th Amendment. The girls should sue the school and the state of Massachusetts in federal court.
MASSholes at it again.
Liberalism truly IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!!!!

If it keeps her from being a radical Leftist, with a college degree, for an extra semester, that actually HELPS the country. She can go whine about why her hard-Left school is acting like, well, hard Leftists. I have no sympathy.
Cuomo in NYS just required vaxx for all SUNY students.
Interesting question, though: Will unionized faculty be allowed to opt out?
Betcha they will...
Massachusetts doesn’t let you out of your house unless you wear a mask, even outdoors?
Somebody up there has been a good little NAZI.
