University of Arizona Student Fined for Appearing in Photo Without a Mask
“says he created a school-approved 9-11 memorial and took his hat and mask off briefly for a photo out of respect”
The authoritarian nature of some schools with regard to the pandemic is just out of control. This is the stuff of dystopian literature.

University of Arizona student says he feels ‘singled out’ after being fined over a maskless photo
A University of Arizona student is speaking out after his appeal to the Dean of Students over a maskless photo was denied.
Jacob Orsay was fined $250 under the “COVID-19 sanction” after a photo of him and several others posing without masks was reported. He also had to take a $90 personal responsibility workshop.
Orsay says he created a school-approved 9-11 memorial and took his hat and mask off briefly for a photo out of respect.
While five others in the photo were also not wearing a mask, Orsay says he was the only one to receive a fine. The eight others in the photo all got warnings.
Orsay, who calls himself an “outspoken Hispanic”, says he feels singled out.

Dammit. Now I have to compute the intersectionality score of a young, Hispanic 9-11 activist at a purple-state liberal college.

I’m not sure I would want to attend a school that assumes to itself the authority to impose a monetary “fine” to say nothing of forcing me to pay for my own indoctrination.
Yeah, ya wanna have a picture where people can remember you.
