As the fall semester rapidly approaches, many housekeeping and facilities workers have questioned the practicality of implementing safety guidelines for on-campus operations. For example, part of the community standards expected of housekeeping staff involve disinfecting “high-touch surfaces,” like restrooms and elevator buttons, four times a day, which some say is not possible. This episode is the second part of a two-part series where we highlight University employee reactions to the upcoming fall semester plan. Reporting by Chiara Evans and Isabella Sherk. Episode co-edited and co-produced by Evely Forte and Meredith Radford.
