At the Democratic National Convention, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York accused the White House of “ignoring” the crisis and then seeking the answer through “politicizing” it.
As teachers and academics look to return to school, leaders around the world continued this week to implement and refine methods to address the demanding situations and fears of the pandemic.
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill announced that it will move remotely for all undergraduate categories starting Wednesday.
The university, with 30,000 fellows, was one of the largest in the country to open its campus during the pandemic. Authorities said 177 academics were moved remotely after Monday’s tests and another 349 were quarantined due to imaginable exposure.
“We don’t take this resolution lightly,” wrote the school’s rector, Kevin M. Guskiewicz, and the rector Robert A. Blouin in an email delivering the change, which they said was made after consultation with local and national fitness experts.
The university said it would help academics leave their accommodation on campus without a monetary penalty. It was not without delay transparent how the university’s resolution would be its sports programs, although North Carolina said that student-athletes can simply stay in their dorms.
The university’s gaming branch said in a statement that it still hoped its academics could play fall games, but would “continue to assess the situation.” The school is a member of the elite Atlantic Coast Conference, which plans to open its football season in September. But the juxtaposition of the practice of the game while the campus is largely closed to ordinary educational life – U.N.C. deserve to host a game in Chapel Hill on September 12; it can be complicated.
In July, county fitness officials suggested to the university virtual courses for at least the first five weeks of the fall semester. And before this month, dozens of academics protested their goal of reopening by holding a “death” on campus.
A similar protest erupted Monday at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, the first day of fall classes. The school had stated that most courses would have some face-to-face attendance this fall, however, dozens of academics and the university organized a “die-in” on campus for the lobby and academics to get more functions to teach or receive remote information.
Brett Tregoning, a graduate student at the Faculty of Physics who helped organize the protesters, said they had arranged a death “to symbolize the death that will happen because of the administration’s reckless policies that prioritize the net outcome in our lives. ” “
Some of the considerations about reopening college campuses were for academics who met at bars or parties at home. Video footage that gave the impression of showing university students attending a busy off-campus party attracted online attention this weekend. A spokesman for the school in Dahlonega, Georgia, said officials were “disappointed” that most academics without a party mask had not met social estrangement guidelines.
