Opinion: Here we go again
Here we go again. After lifting the mask mandate a mere month after requiring KN95s, the University instituted another mask mandate. Once again, hiding behind the veil of “comprehensive health and safety measures,” the University obfuscates to avoid having to produce evidence backed by public health officials supporting the mandate. Citing increased case numbers without citing a change in CDC guidelines or D.C. Public Health guidance, the University has made a unilateral decision based on flimsy evidence that ignores what even the White House has said, that our focus needs to shift from crisis mode to management mode.
