Question

What is the refutation about the argument in conduct limited face toface classes in time of pandemic

Answer 1

Answer:

The argument for bringing some portion of students back to campus built on the idea that a school can accomplish the dual goals restarting some form of residential learning, while also keeping everyone safe. This line of action seeks to find a balance between the risk of COVID-19 spread and the benefits of residential education. Schools that are walking this line are doing so in the belief that the responsibility to keep everyone safe need not necessarily preclude the possibility of finding a path to some form of campus-based operations. Each school will seek to accomplish safety goals and the resumption of residential education differently, depending on their local conditions, constraints, culture, and resources.

Plans to keep students, faculty, staff, and the surrounding community safe from COVID-19 are being designed around strategies for testing, social distancing, and de-densification. In some cases, students will be tested at home before returning to campus. Most students will be tested once they arrive on campus and then randomly throughout the semester. Students will quarantine in their rooms for two weeks prior to the start of any campus educational or co-curricular activities. During this time, meals will be eaten in dorm rooms, served in grab-and-go bags. There seems to be a mix of residence hall strategies being rolled out across higher education. Some schools are moving to have on-campus students live only in singles, accomplishing this by bringing back portions of their student bodies. Other schools are moving ahead with doubles. (I have not heard of triples or higher).
