Good decision.

Well, it's going to make a great community centre!
Excellent decision, best way to protect everyone on campus. 💯🎯
History repeats itself. How long will it be before we start banning people from campus who have HIV or HCV or some other communicable disease? It will never come to that you say. Well, it actually did occur during the onset of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. We never learn.
Right decision
