Here’s something: an oceanography professor at Cornell University sent out an email to one of his classes asking for help identifying two students who had been photographed in violation of the school’s mask mandate. “One student is a male with red hair and a fairly prominent hooked nose,” Dr. Bruce C. Monger wrote, going on to describe the student’s hair and wardrobe. He did the same with another student and promised that “if/when I find the identity of these two students, I will be failing both for the semester as I promised I would in class last Wednesday.”

Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Here is our statement regarding Dr. Monger. pic.twitter.com/rWXCd5gypn

The best Cornell could do was say that Monger “described the unmasked students’ physical characteristics in ways that do not reflect Cornell values.”
Still didn’t answer the question

Will the students fail the class due to a mask violation?

But it's okay for him to fail them for the semester?

Seems Cornell has a reading comprehension problem or purposly avoided the question

You kinda missed the main issue

Imagine paying a fortune to go to university, studying all semester and then having your lecturer fail u for having your mask down round your chin for one class.

So your statement is he was just doing what he was told to do and we just prefer he didn’t make fun of students “hook noses” in emails. Keep that kind of thing to the faculty lounge. Got it.

Thank you for dodging the question. When the photographic evidence is presented of Dr. Monger violating the indoor mask policy, will there be proportional consequences applied to him?

You still suck, @Cornell. Your professors presumably are smart enough to read the data and engage in actual critical thinking to know that mask requirements are an unscientific charade, particularly for young people not at risk. We are not all as dumb as your ‘educators’ look.

Still doesn't answer the question: is it a policy of Cornell to fail students who don't wear a mask, or is that the professor's policy?

Answer the question. Can a student who does well on all their assignments, shows up to class, etc., receive a failing grade simply for not wearing a mask?

Not surprised if Cornell supports such a grading system. This past spring, students who missed surveillance tests could not turn in homework or exams. Profs couldn’t give make-up exam either:https://t.co/yZF2k7mYKg

Students snitching on students about masks. Struggle sessions are next.

We sincerely do want to know the answer: will the students be given failing grades for not wearing masks?
