So a colleague just texted me. A faculty member in the sciences—don’t know him, but heard the name often—died of COVID last week. He had been sick for months, since April. And why did he get sick? It may have been because science profs with lab courses were required to continue teaching on campus a few weeks after the rest of us were allowed to work remotely; he tested positive along with two students in his class.

I think the faculty may be getting out their (metaphorical) torches and pitchforks for the administration.
