UNC just annouced switching to on line classes


Aug 17, 2020, 4:36 PM

All in all, not a good sign for football at UNC this fall. However, the school is allowing student athletes to remain in the dorms as an exception.

On the one hand, it is good that the football players will no longer be surrounded by 20k other students. On the other hand, it will make it easy for the administration to cancel football if the students are not on campus.

UNC is the most liberal college in the nation, I’m not surprised by the wine and cheese crowd.

Most liberal in the nation? Almost all colleges are liberal now and yes, even Clemson. UNC is not remotely close to being the most liberal in the nation. Ever looked into the northeast or west coast schools?

Three decades of deliberately and systematically creating fake no-show/no work classes for the sole purpose of keeping student-athletes eligible academically seems awfully liberal to me.

Re: UNC just annouced switching to on line classes


Aug 17, 2020, 4:52 PM

The covid numbers were up:

In just the past week (Aug. 10-16), we have seen the COVID-19 positivity rate rise from 2.8% to 13.6% at Campus Health. As of this morning, we have tested 954 students and have 177 in isolation and 349 in quarantine, both on and off campus. So far, we have been fortunate that most students who have tested positive have demonstrated mild symptoms.

175 new "cases" around 4 or 5 clusters (dorms one fraternity). No reporting about severe symptoms of any student or any hospitalizations.

UNC has a very liberal faculty and administration combined with the Stalinists who are on the Orange County Board of Health. Plus it didn't help that the student newspaper had the blaring headline this morning:

"UNC has a Clusterf[*@%]k on it Hands." (except they used the word).

They are only allowed to stay on campus if they can prove a hardship or an international student. This is similar to what Clemson did in the spring.

Re: UNC just annouced switching to on line classes

If the UNC administration takes a breath and doesn’t panic, there’s no reason football can’t continue. In many ways, it’s better - the “bubble” is now in place and classes are still “in session.” The concept is even gaining traction with college basketball for the Thanksgiving-January time frame. On most campuses, positive percentages have declined throughout the summer when only athletes have been on campus. Let them continue on their current path while allowing them to receive their education like any other student, while at the same time adding a barrier of protection. We’ve done this in every walk of life at this point - work, grade school, etc. It shouldn’t be a deal-breaker to do the same with higher ed.

Re: UNC just annouced switching to on line classes


Aug 17, 2020, 5:03 PM

I agree that schools just need to be honest. Yes, we're going on line this semester for the regular students. But, with respect to the student athletes, they are to remain on campus (in a bubble) with constant testing, with excellent nutrition and medical care because these athletes are different from normal students since they generate millions in revenue for the school, which supports student athletes for our 26 non revenue sports.

UNC's situation is likely to happen at a lot of schools since we all know students were brought to campus these past weeks so that the parents would write the schools their tuition checks. Once cashed, the students could be sent home for online study.

Re: UNC just annouced switching to on line classes

Colleges are open to students (as opposed to having them learn remotely) for one reason. To drive voter turnout. The number of these kids who would vote if they are at home is much lower than if they are on campus where every left wing professor and social grievance group will be banging the drum 24/7 to insure maximum turnout. And since college students vote overwhelming for Democrats its a good way for the Dems to harvest tens of thousands of votes in every state, that may have not been cast otherwise. You have to remember that everything is political to leftists and the decision to return to class is no different. This is the reason many grade schools aren't open at all yet colleges are welcoming everyone back. If the semester were to end prior to the election they wouldn't have even bothered to reopen.

You might be on to something there! No doubt they would lose opportunity to influence the kids.
