Some U.S. college students are doing the once-improbable: blowing the whistle on classmates who break rules aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus.

“When it’s up there publicly and people are retweeting it, and the university’s getting tagged over and over - then they have to reply,” said the student, who sometimes posts videos and photos of non-compliance sent by other students and asked for anonymity to avoid backlash. The University of Missouri on Tuesday said in a statement that it had expelled two students and suspended three following “flagrant violations” of the school’s coronavirus-related rules.

At Miami, 75 “public health ambassadors” are making $10 an hour to walk around campus and make sure that people wear masks and socially distance. Serious infractions can be flagged to university administrators. At Northeastern University in Boston, administrators came across an Instagram poll last month in which more than 100 incoming freshman indicated that they planned to party. After the student running the account voluntarily turned over the identities of respondents, they received a letter warning that partying could result in punishment up to expulsion, a university spokeswoman said.

Of ALL the things I did in college, the China Virus would be the least of my concerns. Plenty of other “activities” had a far worst potential outcome than this. Let’s be honest, the things college kids do after knowing someone for a few hours doesn’t hold a candle to COVID.

The Stasi would be so proud of these college virus queens

Reminiscent of the maoist revolution in China.

Welcome to Eastern Europe behind the Iron Curtain where neighbors watched over each other for the state apparatus.

Part of MAGA’s plan to rid us of our kids?

Good. Glad some of the students are responsible.

The 'Sophisticated' U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Just Gleefully Harassed a College Student Off the InternetNegotiating an entire country’s interests while situated abroad seems fraught with potential for cultural misunderstanding in even the best of circumstances. But a U.S. ambassadorship to Mexico, a country the American president dislikes so much he ran on a platform of walling it off, seems like it would require an especially keen instinct for how to respond to criticism. But as per usual with the Trump administration, its ambassador to Mexico, Christopher Landau, doesn’t have a keen sense for much, except how to effectively undermine his title by getting into a prolonged social media argument with a college student.\n glad to finally see college students get harassed off the internet instead of the other way around
