Tell me again how wonderfully the return to on-campus learning is going, and how transmission magically stops at the classroom door??? But no cases if we’re not counting. 🤦🏻 #Infuriating / And while I’m mad and tweeting about cases on campus, I should mention how disappointing it is to see high-level administrators ignoring the experiences of faculty on the ground in favour of following head-in-the-sand PHO advice that’s based on pre-Omicron data. 🤬 / Finally, I should mention that my institution isn’t tracking cases and *specifically told faculty not to report* to health & safety when students inform instructors they’ve tested +. Students are being more diligent in informing their classmates about exposures than uni admin."
