‘Majority’ of staff expected on campus despite home working call

Imbeciles.

Surely an early finish for Christmas would have been the sensible thing to do to slow the spread of Omicron and allow time for more people to get the boosters. But no, best to compel people to come onto campus for face to face teaching to up the number of cases and maximise the transmission when students go home for the holidays. Imbeciles is being too generous.

What about the right of students to be educated, and our professional duty to provide that service? What gives academics the right to insist on a disease-free workplace? We face much greater risks off-campus, and so do most other workers, our own long-suffering students included. I find these attitudes selfish and unprofessional.
