It is not encouraging to me that the statement from Brown’s President is slightly less gross than the statement from Purdue’s President. They’ll both kill people. And they both flagrantly model this as policy for other institutions. https://twitter.com/jessifer/status/1253298528018972673?s=21 …https://twitter.com/Jessifer/status/1253298528018972673 …

It's a definite take, apparently. Little mention of staff or faculty. Or how to disinfect classrooms between classes.pic.twitter.com/rokQ5p4Cwv

Yes. It’s the logical (not moral or ethical, mind you) end of the neoliberal market-driven takeover of higher education. The same ideology that had folks saying that higher risk people should be willing to put their lives at risk for the betterment of the economy a few weeks back

I’m pained by how exclusively money-driven decisions are now being made in the open without any shame whatsoever. You *know* these high level administrators are insulated from the risk they subject students and staff to

What I don’t understand is how institutions that are normally so risk averse could possibly go for this. One exposure, let alone one death, and they will be buried in lawsuits almost instantly.

Especially because they’ve made their decisions so emphatically public.
