Yeah, I read they kept the whole senior class there (only service academy to do so) to give the most seniors possible the best chance of graduating on time. Then they socially isolated them one per room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For perspective, they were the only service academy not on Spring Break when all this went down, so the others had the luxury of “just don’t return from leave.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m presenting perspective on how their circumstances were different from the other service academies. Aside from that, I’m not the decision maker, but I assume the decision was made in some good faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
