No surprise, but the upcoming holiday has students getting better about being in compliance. Even though overall numbers are up slightly from the previous week, the Dean of Students office says warnings issued for not submitting daily attestations and missing or failing to schedule COVID-19 tests are generally lower than earlier in the semester.

With Thanksgiving almost here, this is no time to relax.

  1. BU can you fix your system? I get a warning about needing to schedule testing when I have three scheduled for the next week. You are literally drowning us in unnecessary emails and reminders because whoever developed your system did a poor job. Additionally can you give us a little leeway on the 7-day thing? I have nearly lost my job for being 18 hours out of compliance twice due to travel…

  2. BU is doing a phenomenal job let’s be honest. I rather have hundreds of “unnecessary” emails and be safe than to get few or little reminders and have cases running rampant on campus. I don’t know what type of “leeway” you are hoping for but it would be dangerous for BU to not be operating this way during a global pandemic. Also maybe I misunderstood you but you shouldn’t be traveling and then coming to campus…

    1. Or you know they could just close like what should happen everywhere…but that hurts their absurd tuition costs…also over-testing like BU is doing provides a false sense of security meaning more people disregard other guidelines. *Travel being within the state, I am tested three times a week have faith in me being negative not assume I am positive*

      1. My daughter traveled out of state to Pennsylvania and then over the bridge to New Jersey for her grandmothers funeral and luncheon. She was off campus about 24 hours, she flew into Boston Saturday night was tested Sunday morning and isolated until all of her testing came back negative.
