Last Thursday, President Biden delivered an address to the nation that established the next stage of the federal government’s approach to the coronavirus pandemic. During this address, President Biden announced that “he will direct states, Tribes, and territories to make all adults eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine no later than May 1st” (“Fact Sheet: President Biden to Announce…” (par. 4). By making American adults eligible for the coronavirus vaccine, the Biden administration hopes to move the U.S.A. closer to normal by July 4th (par. 1).
Ever since the first frontline health care workers received the first doses of vaccine in early January, I have been thinking about returning to campus. Not that I’m in a rush to return to campus as I continue to prioritize the safety of all SDSU community members. However, I have been wondering what a return to campus would look like. For instance, would it be a good idea to limit the number of people on campus by having half the campus population working, learning, administrating Monday through Wednesday, and then the other half do the same Thursday through Saturday. This is just one of several ideas that I’ve entertained as an approach to returning students, faculty, staff, and administrators back to campus safely.
For this Discussion, please contribute to the conversation of returning all SDSU community members safely to campus for the Fall 2021 semester. Honestly, there are so many different aspects to this conversation that I’m hesitant to suggest any specific direction to your Discussion responses. However, a good place to start might be with responding to this question: “What will a safe SDSU community look like to you?”
As you develop your Discussion response, strive to integrate material from a few of the different op-ed and infographic sources we have covered these past three weeks (or some that you’ve located on your own). There are several ways material from these sources could be used:
1. Introduce a rhetor’s idea and then agree with or illustrate it (with more current examples or data),
2. Announce a rhetor’s idea and then disagree with or challenge it (maybe it would not be suitable for the SDSU community)
3. If a rhetor introduces a potential obstacle to safely re-opening, you could offer a solution or remedy.
