As a parent of a fish cadet, I'm telling you guys not to get your hopes up. It was common knowledge that A&M higher-ups wanted the corps shut down this year. Both in the fall and after a "spike" in February. G Ram stood his ground, but this school is led by leftists, just like every other major university in the US. If Ohio State is doing this crap, don't be surprised if TAMU does also.Keegan99 said:
A&M needs to be 100% normal in the fall. And the regents need to insist on it.
I think cooler heads will prevail for the fall. Kind of like Ohio State(the big 10) cancelling the football season, and the SEC calling their bluff on it. We won't be at 25% capacity for football, just too much money involved at this point. one year was enough to sacrifice.Prexys Moon said:As a parent of a fish cadet, I'm telling you guys not to get your hopes up.

As I summarized in a previous post, we were in town for parents weekend.
The mask nazis are still out in force on campus. Even when LEAVING Kyle after events like parents weekend review, people are shouted down to PUT YOUR MASK ON NOW. There are still idiotic signs and stickers all over campus "mask up 6 feet apart" , "staying 6 feet apart keeps us together", "face coverings must be in place unless actively eating or drinking", "selfless service means masking up", and my favorite, giant stickers all over the couches in the flag rooms saying "DONT SIT HERE". Worst of all...the number of idiot students walking through giant parking lot alone with a mask, or on a bike with a mask, is more than you would think.
A&M knows it has students and parents by the nose, in that nobody is going to transfer or give up an admission spot because of this. We can ***** and moan and email and make threats, but they know they've got us.
Other SEC schools have full capacity for baseball, we are still at 25%. Alabama was in town for a series this past weekend, parents weekend. You walk by Olsen and see the "sold out" signs, and then see giant holes in the stands. Gorgeous day to go to a game, sorry covid 25%. It's truly asinine.

There's no reason, no matter how insane you were before, that you shouldn't be pushing for 100% normalcy when we've had the chance to vaccinate all. Notice I didn't say vaccinate all. Just mathematically had the chance. By august every single person. Adult or child. Would have had the chance. That's 140 days from now, and we can do 3.5 million per day, and clearly not everyone will get it.
Covid will be gone by august(for all intents and purposes, maybe a handful of cases and like 5 deaths a day nationally). I pray to god cooler heads prevail in most cases when numbers plummet.

My son cannot wait to move off campus because of all the Covidians. Some jackass RA turned him in for not wearing a mask when he walked to the bathroom. He got an official warning letter from A&M. He's sporting a 4.0 as a finance major.
This is seriously not going to be tolerated much longer. I love A&M but I love my son much more. We're considering transferring if they continue this charade.

What the hell, that's how someone would get their bike treed, car messed up, or ass kicked when I was at A&M. Rats will not be tolerated.

Proud Texas Aggie here thinking our decision to send our oldest to Colorado School of Mines this fall as opposed to A&M is more and more the right decision. I have to believe a 100% engineering focused school will use logic over feelz when evaluating how to proceed.

That's not how the vaccine works. It has a very high effective rate but it's not 100%, so we continue to test. Happy to help you.
Pretty strong first post.JambesPoilu said:
This will be the first test for the new president. Aggieland has had a fairly high positive testing rate. The majority of the students went through the quarantine with NO SYMPTOMS. There were ZERO HOSPITALIZATIONS. The campus should be wide open for students in the fall. NOWOKE- NOWOKE- NOWOKE- NOWOKE!!!
