Ivy League professor blasts university coronavirus closings in Atlantic op-ed
Fox News
Ivy League professor Emily Oster published an opinion piece denouncing universities for shutting down amidst rising omicron cases.
Specifically, she denounced the recent decision from schools such as UCLA, Yale, and Duke to switch to online learning in January to combat the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
"From some corners, this concern for the surrounding community will be met with applause. In my view, however, it ignores the primary group that a university serves: its students. Moving to remote schooling when the conditions on the ground have changed so dramatically is an abdication of universities’ responsibility to educate students and protect all aspects of their health," Oster wrote.
