Stanford to close off most of its campus to visitors

This seems so blunt an approach, with big impacts to everyone who lives around here! Many, many people enjoy walking through campus as part of their day.

How often is someone not affiliated with the university getting close to someone on campus, enough to pose a danger of disease transmission? And with more risk than the students themselves being carriers of the virus?

This cannot have been thought through well.

This is so LAME!

The covid risk posed by people visiting campus outdoors, walking and biking on campus, is negligible.

Stanford’s map doesn’t help without street labels to mark boundaries. Poor communication. However, given the challenges to reopen I sympathize with the restrictions - if only I could see what they are, eg to bike through the campus.

The Rodin Garden, Goldsworthy's Stone River, Serra's Sequence.....off limits?? Boo to my alma mater.

This doesn't seem necessary to me (interaction between visitors and students/staff is incredibly limited), but they're a private institution—it's their property, not ours—so they can be as conservative as they'd like to be.

When our local K-12 schools reopen how many of them do you think will allow visitors to wander on their campuses?

ZERO

Would you want visitors wandering on your children's school grounds?
