When the upstate New York campus that had the worst coronavirus outbreak of any public college in the state announced it would reopen for the spring semester, a petition started in protest and accumulated more than 700 signatures.

“Learn from your Fall 2020 mistakes!” wrote an alumna who signed the petition.
