2. I hear about it every day first hand as my husband works for a university.

They set up 16 covoid isolation rooms. 12 are currently filled. 8 of them from the football team, who said publicly they stopped practice. NOPE. Only out of public view. The players are required to spend at least 8 hours a day in the gym.
The rule was you can't move on campus without documentation of a negative test. The foreign students started moving in this week WITHOUT it. Now ANOTHER dorm is being hastily set up to quarantine them. They are only required to stay in that room when they are on campus. They are free to do anything else they like.
Can't verify but a sorority house that was open at the first of the week is now closed with no official explanation. Rumor is a few of the sisters were sick and the lot of them were sent home because they refused to quarantine.
Most furloughed workers returned 7-5 to make the campus ready to open. They were told the rules would be strictly enforced as far as as masking and social distancing. Not true. A person in the registrar's office and one in the mail room refuse to do either, have been reported many times, and are still there.

I don't know how long Stitt thinks he can keep this covered up.
