Cowboy football kicked off on Friday, October 30, amid increased COVID-19 precautions on campus. While the game required that fans wore masks and socially distanced, 7,000 people were allowed in the stadium.
“I think we should be allowed to go to football games and other student activities. However, if they are allowing us to engage in those activities, I believe that they should allow us to go to classes in person,” said Noah Wozney, a senior studying mathematics.
According to a poll on social media, which 17 students responded to, 88% said it was not okay for UW to have a football game during the pandemic.
