Ithaca College students from states on NY gov's travel advisory list can't return to campus

https://campusreform.org/?ID=15306

Ithaca College announced recently that not all students will be allowed to return to on-campus learning this fall, but not just because the college says they can't.

Any students who have been living in states on the New York Travel Advisory list over the summer are not allowed to live in residence halls, engage in campus activities, or attend in-person classes until their state is taken off the list. These restrictions also apply to students from these states who are living off-campus in the fall.

But Trump not allowing new student visas for people taking online classes was outrageous, .

Massachusetts' deaths per 1M population is almost 6X California's, but Massachusetts isn't on the list? Ditto Connecticut!

New Jersey's deaths per 1M population is 8X California's, but New Jersey isn't on the list?

New York's deaths per 1M population is 700X Alaska's! Alaska may have more polar bears in the state than the total number of people who have died from Covid-19!

New York's deaths per 1M population is 12X North Dakota's.

NY, NJ, MA, and CN have the worst deaths per 1M population among US states! New York's ban list - states included and states omitted - reeks of political barnyard fowl fertilizer.
