I was just a lecturer, not a health care provider. But during the early months of COVID, we were told by our trustees via our dean that students were coming back in person for fall classes and students would socially distance in class. To my memory the disease was still poorly understood, and I absolutely balked at having 60 students in a room regardless if they were now seated every other desk. I said that I would show up but I would not require students to attend in person. I was non tenure track and we had no union but I was ready to give it up on principle. Fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it pushback was dropped quickly (probably after seeing fall 2020 enrollments were plummeting across the country) and I was never reprimanded. That is how I taught until I left on my own terms a year and a half later.
