'UCU has called on university and college employers across the UK to 'raise their game' in the fight against Omicron by allowing vulnerable staff to work remotely and ensure higher quality face masks are freely available for all staff working in-person on campus.'

Well done Michigan for taking the lead!
More than 1,000 faculty members at Univ of Michigan have vowed to teach online today, or to help those who do, defying an order from president Mark Schlissel. Faculty members say they don’t want to teach in person because of risks of getting COVID-19.

My Government is systematically dismantling expertise in favour of ideology and loyalty. Just as one only had to look to Europe to see what was coming with COVID-19 in a few weeks, I fear we only have to look to the US to see what fruit this may start bearing in a few years.
