In response to the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus, the university said it would distribute KN95 masks to all students, staff, and faculty starting Monday Jan. 10. But when the Cardinal searched campus for over an hour–including the Chemistry building, BAB, SAC, Strickler, Ekstrom Library, and the university bookstore– we found no masks.
According to the University’s COVID Health Protocols page, these masks would be available across campus, such as in the libraries, the SAC, SRC, BAB, and the Cultural Center.
Some deliveries of N95 masks to department offices for faculty were successful, with staff and professors receiving their allotted two N95 masks, but these were not to be handed out to students.
