Why am I not surprised?

Another horrifying fact of the Trump administration’s response to the pandemic:

In the past two months, Trump has played golf more times than he has met with Dr. Fauci.

Higher education

(Note -- Morris teaches at the University of Georgia.)

Faculty at UGA are being asked to identify their next-of-academic-kin, meaning someone who can take over their class if they get exposed/sick (or worse). It’s almost like admin know conditions will be unsafe and people will get sick...

On a side note, if you work or have worked in higher education, I highly recommend following Associate Deans @ass_deans. ("Making fun of middle management in colleges and universities. Because you can never have too many associate deans conspiring to be THE dean.") No one on Twitter (that I've seen) captures the higher education workplace better or with as much (often, dark) humor. For example, on this topic:

We decided to add a question to our student evaluations for the fall. “Please rate your instructor on how fearful they were of getting sick or dying when they taught class.”

and:

So, our new early retirement package offers this choice: Our 65 and older faculty can teach in person or retire. This is also our solution to our projected budget cuts! Win-Win!
