A Fanshawe College welding professor who teaches nearly 160 students and is refusing to wear a mask on the job has left the school scrambling to fill his position by Monday; the first day students will be back in class. A spokesperson for Fanshawe College confirmed the school is requiring students and staff to wear masks under their welding helmets, as well as in all public spaces, unless a person has a medical exemption. That's what happened at a Wednesday staff meeting, said Taylor, who was then suspended for one day on Thursday. A screenshot of an email sent to Deven Taylor from Fanshawe College. The college said campus security will be reminding people on campus to wear masks, and will follow up with warnings and enforcement if necessary.
