NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY RATES AN INSTALANCHE.

Not in a good way. Northern Illinois University officials party maskless while forcing mandates on students.  Our student representative to The College Fix has receipts.

In one instance (pictured) President Lisa Freeman went maskless while cheerleaders and band members were forced to wear masks.

The university and alumni association deleted most of the albums, videos and photos after Fix inquiries.

A January 11 email [click over -- Ed.] from Yolanda King, the law school’s associate dean, criticized the bare faces she saw while on campus.

Meanwhile, if you're College of Law nomenklatura, you get to shed your Biden muzzles at the "holiday" reception (which we used to refer to as the Christmas party.)

Let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

Cassandra Hill, the law school dean, is in the middle of faculty and staff. At the end of the row appears to be law school Chief of Staff Melody Mitchell and to Hill’s immediate right is Kellie Martial, the assistant dean. At the far right on the end is librarian and Assistant Professor Matthew Timko.

The Fix identified the faculty using the College of Law’s directory, though not all employees have photos.

King did not respond to requests for comment on if she attended the luncheon and the potential she violated the university and state mask mandate. Dean Hill did not respond to a request for comment either.

It's not enough that high university officials defy Illinois's corona tyrants, they cross state lines and defy Michigan's.

That's the president with the director of athletics, Sean Frazier.

Freeman enjoyed a breakfast buffet in Detroit before NIU took on Kent State in the Mid-American Conference football championship at Ford’s Field on December 4. Despite an alumni association admonition that all events would follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines requiring masking indoors, Freeman’s bare face is visible in some photos.

Meanwhile, the continued virtual learning isn't.

One law school student, required to take online classes, said the mask situation is part of a broader problem of the university not serving its students: “[T]his time the administration…has gone too far.”

The student decried the quality of online learning he and his peers have experienced at NIU thus far, citing a general lack of preparedness and professionalism by both students and professors when classes are online, and valuable time wasted on arguments over people not turning their cameras on and general technical issues.

Should university officials explain, we'll cover it.
