These students NEED to be attending class in person!”
“This is disappointing and represents a failure in leadership from the top.

“You know, the longer I go here, the more I question why I go here.”
“Thankful for the opportunity to be back on campus and in person!
Thank you SIUE!”
“It’s simple. They care more about enrollment than their faculty/staff.”
It is disheartening to see an institution of higher education stick their head in the sand and ignore research and data. The ones who suffer the most are the staff.”

“One statistic I have on my mind right now is
as a result of the SIU system requiring SIUE to go back to school in person.”
“I personally believe it should be a choice. They should have the option for students who feel uncomfortable to go online, and the opposite for students who do not feel comfortable.”
“I am very much hoping that they will really follow through and have in-person classes.
Especially with such large classes!”

STUDENTS RETURN TO CLASSES AMID “Glad they will be back in the classroom. My daughter has two labs scheduled this semester plus harder academic classes.”
“I want to go back in person but I don’t think it’s a good idea!
“So you’re aware that we are in the Omicron surge, yet telling us we have to sit in confined areas with 50+ people for at least 50 minutes until the surge subsides?

Way to go SIUE.” “Weekly testing is ridiculous” @alestlelive
