What Can Be Said About the 34-Page Coronavirus Guidelines on Higher Ed

We posted yesterday about the new guidelines from the California Dept. of Public Health that run 34 pages.* Presumably, they have an impact on planning for fall semesters and quarters at UC. To yours truly, they look like a situation in which almost everything is online and those students allowed in dorms are isolated with few-to-none activities other than sitting in their rooms alone doing online courses. Not clear what the legal liability will be if someone gets sick and all 34 pages of rules haven't been followed to the letter.

Here is what UC has said so far in response:

“It would be premature for us to comment immediately, as we need some time to carefully assess the guidelines and their implications,” said UC spokeswoman Claire Doan.**

Indeed!
