but one of his most important jobs is to help graduating seniors find employment.
and unfortunately a "free mask" policy or "no mask" policy might prevent some companies and recruiters from coming to campus in the fall.
it is what it is
I disagree. It is not any university's job to help graduating seniors find employment but rather to prepare them for the workforce in their field of study. Companies/recruiters flock to TAMU because TAMU does a great job in preparing students for careers, and that is what it is.
If there are companies/recruiters that do not wish to come to TAMU b/c of an optional face mask policy, then the company misses out on a very important pool of future professionals to their company's detriment. Further, a career fare could be a required face mask zone w/o TAMU being one at all times, as can the career center. Still, I don't believe it to be that important when compared to the quality for our graduates.
