Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, and Computer Science all have labs. How is that going to work?

Trying again, it didn't take the first time.

Okay guys and gals, <cough> y'all had your fun but we've reached a point where those threads descended into general board material. Please keep the discussion, as it pertains to political fall out, the federal government response, <cough> if Trump is the devil, etc. going over there.

Thank you and <cough> I hope ya'll <cough> enjoy the rest of your <cough> week.

You were saying? My post on the exact same topic wasn't political or controversial, yet it was moved to General. Maybe this post should be treated the same?

The saving grace is that these are "student-athletes". My post considered the same, making this news athletics related.​
