As the country returns to wide-spread lockdown orders, working-class people of color are again bearing the brunt of the pandemic. The low positivity rates on campus can be traced in part to Columbia’s rigorous testing program, in which all University affiliates who live on campus are required to undergo weekly testing. Erick Zent, CC ’24 and first-year class president, says the testing is very accessible for Columbia affiliates who wish to use it.
