Extracted Content: Lee, an administrative assistant at a small private college in the Northeast, awoke last Monday morning to an email that made her feel “angry and not terribly valued.” It was from the human-resources department, instructing all staff members to “report to campus as regularly scheduled” despite the coronavirus outbreak.
The college had taken health and safety precautions, the email said, and with no students or faculty members on campus, the risk of exposure was low. Workers who needed to stay at home with children or at-risk relatives were told to use vacation or sick time.
