Sometimes the school I work at does things very, very right. I just found out today that students living on campus who are sick can fill out a sick meal request form and give it to their RA to have their meals delivered, so as not to infect everyone else on campus by going to the dining hall. Not bad!

My university does that too! I was really glad when I found out. It's a great idea, not just to reduce infection, but because slogging over to the dining hall when you feel crummy is no fun.

Interesting. I don't know if we do that. I do know our faculty are being asked to think about how we would hold class in an epidemic.

I think we might explode eCollege in that case. :)

As someone said this week, if everybody's sick, who's going to want to have class at all? Online or not.

Very clever! Cuts down on the number of people exposed to infection, makes sure the students have healthy meals when they're probably not all that enthusiastic about cooking (if they even have that option in their dorm) and is a great (and relatively cheap) way to make the students feel valued.

wow, that would have been nice. i don't know how things are now at my school, but they sure didn't have anything like that when i was living in the dorms...
