Lance Miller, an associate professor of mathematics, in a question to the panel said he's concerned about risks related to in-person teaching. "We can't guarantee that we will not be locked in a room six times a week with unvaccinated students. I don't know about anyone else, I don't feel comfortable going home and hugging my children," Miller said. Children under 12 are not eligible for the covid-19 vaccine. Miller told the panel that it's unclear what authority an instructor has "to, say, give classes remotely until such time as the case numbers drop," and he asked for "some guidance or leadership to the faculty about this kind of particular anxiety."
