Suspended at Georgetown for asking questions

I arrived at the meeting with curiosity. I had no interest in banging my fists and causing a commotion; I just wanted to know the reasoning – the “rational basis” that law schools so often discuss – behind our school’s policies. There were four simple questions:
- What was the goal of the school’s Covid policy? (Zero Covid? Flatten the curve?)
- What was the limiting principle to that goal? (What were the tradeoffs?)
- What metrics would the community need to reach for the school to remove its mask mandate?
- How can you explain the contradictions in your policies? For example, how could the virus be so dangerous that we could not take a sip of water but safe enough that we were required to be present? Why are faculty exempt from masking requirements?
I feared there were simple answers to my questions that I had overlooked: these administrators made hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, surely they must have had some reasoning behind their draconian measures. Right? The contradictions appeared obvious to me. The data seemed to be clear, but maybe there was an explanation.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I wish he would have stayed on topic. His little dogs about Ukraine made him seem a partisan. That takes away from his message.
