From Bibb Graves to Lexington

First, a reader writes from inside Bibb Graves on the UNA campus:

(Administrators) have been very last minute on making decisions concerning this virus. Of course that’s normal, our president has always drug his feet on making decisions with dangerous weather or traveling conditions. But FINALLY, we were told that “certain” departments had different options. Working from home, and employees alternating days of being on campus for work. 

That may apply to some but not the ones in Bibb-Graves. Not only were we told no, but we had our windows shut, doors shut, and signs hanging just directing people to call, email and leave all paperwork, just to try & limit contact as much as possible. The signs were ripped down, we were told to open all doors & windows and continue business as usual. When confronted on how some of us are concerned for our health, and the health of our families, it was apparently almost humorous to them. We were also told that if we wanted time off, we could gladly use our vacation time. So many employees are scared, and angry. Now we have parents upset because Once again our president hasn’t even canceled all studies abroad for our students, I’m sure that will come last minute like everything else.

Do we have new big doings in Lexington? Nothing official yet. We'll be sure to notify our readers when we do.
