McGill evicts students on short notice
McGill, which for a fancy university has trouble making smart decisions, has evicted some students from residence on short notice for breaking Covid rules.

Worth reading the article; it is a complicated situation. That being said, both parties here suck. The kids are entitled and clearly come from privileged situations; they will survive. On the other hand, McGill is clearly terrible. Bad policy, bad implementation of the policy. Instead of setting up proper support system it’s just compliance and punishment. You need to put a system in place that makes it easy for young people like this to do the right thing and to give them support when they start to err. Their parents are paying enough for it.
This is health policy, not protestant ethics. You kick those kids out and you risk more community spread.

Regardless of who’s right or wrong, this is a terrible situaiton to be in for a unviersity that prides itself on the all-in out-of-province student experience.
