SUNY Professors Protest

In-Person Reopening Plan

A SUNY Oneonta professor lights a candle lanterns on the main campus quad to represent the nearly 1,200 COVID-19 cases to date in Otsego County as part of a protest against the college’s proposed in-person reopening plan this evening. “The plan is not about preventing an outbreak, just about detecting it before it gets too big.

This event is a way to visualize all the cases we’ve had in the county.” (Michael Forster Rothbart/AllOTSEGO.com)
