You ever be such an asshole your professor resigns in the middle of class.

      Idk about here but at my uni the administration specifically told staff that you’re allowed to request students put a mask on but you can’t kick them out if they don’t, so doing that would’ve just gotten him in trouble rather than making a headline that brings negative attention to the university.

      Yeah, it's fucking sad seeing people be so conflict avoidant they tap out every single time. We're seeing this with healthcare and they're basically just abandoning us for us to deal with this shit instead of actually being any sort of allies themselves.

        Well, what are you really supposed to do? The power structures in this society are so far stacked in favor of the little goblins running everything into the ground any form of conflict without mass support is effectively futile

        What can nurses do except walk out? What can anyone do?

          Here Nurses have perfected the art of the slowdown, they don't clean anything that doesn't absolutely need cleaning, they don't do anything that doesn't need doing. If there's an orderly strike at the same time you can watch the Doctors and Admin cave in Real-Time.

          Literally anything because they have nothing to lose, especially when it comes to people with privileged positions like doctors and professors. They have the resources, the social cache, the education to know and do better but they don't because they're liberal cowards.

        Elderly people who resign to get away from people who refuse to wear masks are cowards

      UGA is a public university and the people that decide policy for it are basically all friends with whoever the governor is. Since we have a Republican, none of the public universities in the state are allowed to require masks.
      Cause fuck em that's why

        So make them fire you. You can make a much bigger stink (shit, you might have a lawsuit) if you get fired than if you quit. And "school fires beloved professor emeritus over mask policy" gets you just as much martyrdom press as "professor resigns over mask policy," if not more.

        Sometimes you have to press the issue instead of giving them what they want and hoping they feel bad about it.
