It’s another sign of how elite institutions have lost their way. The most intellectually brittle and intolerant people are allowed to be uncompromising and those who disagree capitulate. As if any healthy community could sustain such a practice without become oppressive. The absurdity of this irrational practice is the school would not be required to go to such extreme lengths to accommodate a disabled person, whether student or employee. Saying an event must be moved outside in inclement weather would never be viewed as a reasonable accommodation. So Covid irrationalism allows fearful and dogmatic people to insist on accommodations that people who have actual physical conditions requiring accommodation cannot. Utterly irrational.
We have to disagree and try to inject some realism wherever we can but it’s hard—people cling to their beliefs and get so offended and defensive in the presence of alternative opinions.
