Myron Pope: ‘If we increase at the rate we did this week, give us a week and a half and we’re going to be at full capacity’

quote:

Although reentry testing maintained a 1% positivity rate, about 29% of tests performed on campus Thursday yielded positive results.


quote:

In response, Pope announced a set of new policies to reinforce and build upon pre-existing guidelines because the actions of a few can “jeopardize the health, safety and UA experience we all value.”

Entry into Greek houses is now restricted to residents, advisors and staff, and common areas are off-limits. Meal services for both resident and non-resident members will be limited to grab and go, and all social gatherings are prohibited in the house, on-campus and off-campus. “Escalated consequences will be imposed” for students who violate these policies.

On-campus housing and residential communities will continue to prohibit guest visitors and the use of common areas.

The Tuscaloosa Police Department and the UA Police Department will be conducting joint patrols near campus, and elevated consequences will be imposed on off-campus students who host or attend social gatherings in violation of local and statewide mask and social distancing restrictions. Hosts of gathering will face heightened consequences, which could include suspension, even on a first violation.

Why are they acting like kids haven’t been out and about on campus since July?

Even if you live off campus, you can't gather for social activity.

So they expect kids that have come to college to not party, or socialize, even off campus.

How can the college dictate to students that live off campus??

It's like... "big brother is watching you"

What did they think was going to happen?

They are comparing apples and oranges

The 1% rate was when everyone was tested

The 29% rate is when people who come into contact with an exposed person.

Because they weren't even there in July. Even most of the kids with year round leases had left town.

Why are they picking on the Greeks? They can't eat in their own dining rooms with members of their group but it's ok to go to one of the dining halls and eat with any schmuck from campus? WTF sense does that make?

I’ve seen plenty of snapchats the 2nd half of the summer suggesting otherwise

Can confirm students who live off campus have been here all summer. I have partied. Caught it about a month ago. There’s no way that only 300 students had it through the Guidesafe testing they did before the return to campus. I know 5 students personally who have had it and one who has it now. Parties all over The Cottages when I was driving to my house tonight.

Need to do what UNC did. Go to online classes only, only students who can stay on campus are athletes, internationals and graduate students. Sent all the knuckle heads home. Creating a football bubble. Surprised we haven’t done it already but I expect it’s coming.

Not all of the kids are knuckleheads and they want a college experience, not Phoenix Online.

I'm guessing you didn't pay for a Suite this semester?
