Tuberculosis coverup at SFSU?

According to CBS5.com, 250 students may have been exposed to a person with an active case of tuberculosis and only "those who may have been exposed" have been told. Excuse me? What's sad is the communication to staff, faculty, and students about this did not occur. Instead, we get unsolicited emails from above about Israel/Palestine issues and the Governor's fabulous budget but not about this. Maybe it's management's way of saying "Happy Holidays".

Only those who have been exposed have been tested? How do they know who has been exposed? Did they ask me if I have been in the Psychology and Ethnic Studies building at the time this person was there? No. Were only students tested? Are faculty and staff immune to the bacterium? Maybe the asbestos we're inhaling protects us???

The silence is deafening.
