This friday Washington University canceled classes on friday and changed
it to online school. This is because of the recent outbreak in Washington
state were more than 20 people have the virus. More colleges will soon
follow suit for fear of an outbreak on campus. More than 300 people have
been diagnosed with more than 10 dead. Both the state of Washington
and Washington University have taken extreme measures to attempt to
control the virus. At Stanford University they also announced that they
will not be having classes in person but instead online. The level of concern
rose dramatically after people from vanderbilt, University of Chicago and
University of California Los Angeles all have isolated students with the virus.
If you were the campus official what would you do?
Is canceling face to face classes the right call?
If you were a student how would you feel?
Has there ever been a time were your parents did something for you that you didn’t agree with?
