To anyone suggesting that these people were wearing masks by choice: “The University of South Florida requires students, faculty, staff and visitors to wear face coverings inside university facilities on campus including, but not limited to, classrooms, conference rooms, shared work spaces, academic and administrative buildings, lobbies and lounge areas, research facilities, residence halls, student unions, performance spaces, retail spaces, museums, libraries and dining facilities. Anyone using a dining facility should cover their face until they sit down to eat and then put the face covering back on immediately after. Face coverings are required when moving through shared spaces (lobbies, elevators, stairwells, lounges, etc.), when using campus public transportation and while inside university vehicles or golf carts if more than one person is present. Face coverings may be removed when inside of a private building space, such as a single use, completely enclosed office or residence hall room. Based on the latest research that suggests the coronavirus can travel through the air and transfer from person to person, face coverings should be worn in cubicles even if they are spaced at least six feet apart and have vertical barriers in place between workstations. USF requires wearing face coverings in outdoor public spaces on campus when in the presence of others” Taken straight from their website. Also taken from a newer page straight from their website: “Masks USF expects masks to be worn when indoors, especially in a crowded setting” It’s not a choice when you’re being forced and face potential consequences for an institution that quite literally decides your future.
