And the administration is freaking out. Last night they announced they were kicking all the girls out of Mary Burke West by this weekend for more quarantine beds. Moving them to other dorms, not necessarily keeping roommates together. And here's $250 Bama cash for your trouble. Doesn't affect my kid but people are PISSED. Tomorrow is final withdrawal date without penalty and it sounds like kids are being pulled out in droves by parents.
They have shut down the Greek houses, dining halls are grab-n-go only. Online classes are mostly recorded sessions with little/no live interaction with the professors, many of whom aren't trying to be very accessible. It's turning into a real shitshow in Tuscaloosa because they seemingly had this fantasy scenario that they could keep 30,000 kids Covid free.

quote:If they have 531 positives in Tuscaloosa there are probably 10x that number who actually currently have it. UA needs to stay the course and simply manage the outbreak on campus, because the student population will likely have almost zero serious complications from the virus, and because the last thing they need to be doing (for a number of reasons) is panicking, shutting down campus, and shipping off thousands of asymptomatic carriers to their parents and grandparents around the country.
