The latest push to send students at UW-Eau Claire home is coming from the math department.
Sixteen professors in the math department sent a letter to the university last week asking that students be sent home for the Thanksgiving break, and not allowed to return. Professor Silviana Amethyst says it is inevitable that students will bring the virus back to campus with them. The UW-Eau Claire administration says the idea is to test students everyday after Thanksgiving, and to prove that the school can safely continue with in-person learning for the rest of the year.
