MADISON, Wis. The University of Wisconsin System President Tommy Thompson announced additional details today about incentives to UW students with nursing skills and other health backgrounds to work on the front lines of Wisconsin’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. These include qualifying criteria, deadlines and how students can apply.
“As Wisconsin deals with this terrible pandemic, the need for health care workers has never been greater. The UW System is glad to be able to offer this incentive to students, who can use this opportunity to learn and to help our fellow Wisconsinites,” said President Thompson.
Stroebel called the University s Covid-19 app an Orwellian invasion of student privacy .
The plans require students to track and share their own health data through an app on their phone, according to a news release.
See Also Increased testing for COVID-19 next semester makes sense, but I strongly disagree with the University s decision to embrace what sounds like an Orwellian invasion of student privacy, Stroebel said in a statement. Forcing students to use an application on their phone to track test compliance and subsequently share that data with trained employees who will stand guard outside buildings conjures images of a state-run campus in a repressive regime.
