We start by discussing the different plans employed by Cambridge University and the University of North Carolina for holding classes in the fall. This discussion leads to a broader discussion about people's opinions of COVID-19. We then transition to talking about the NFL's expansion of the Rooney Rule and their decision to table a proposition to improve draft position for teams that hire minority candidates. This discussion leads to a broader discussion about race and affirmative action. We close by briefly discussing a common thread we notice between people's opinions on COVID-19 and affirmative action.
