. They also say schools should consider how they would respond to an outbreak on campuses where students live in close proximity engaging in intimate behaviors and sharing beverages or food.
“One of the most important things is this communication plan and I think that this is something we’re failing at currently in the United States,” Fischer said. “People are becoming afraid because they don’t understand monkeypox. … What they’re hearing is we have cases in our community. What they are not hearing is ‘what is my personal risk?’”
Multiple schools, including Texas Tech University and the University of Texas at Dallas said they are meeting this week to discuss monkeypox mitigation and response plans for the fall. The University of Texas at Austin, which had one positive case of monkeypox confirmed earlier this month, did not respond to questions. But a spokesperson told the Chronicle of Higher Education, “the risk to the greater campus community remains low.
One school, the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley, said it would isolate an infected student and handle each case on an individual basis while following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We need to make sure we’re careful to reach out to groups letting them know that this is occurring,” Lakey said. “That’s not going to be the only way that it can be spread, but that’s the population that’s being spread through right now.”
