Rules, Guidance, Or Utter Nonsense?
https:/
“Universities have now pledged to make it "absolutely clear" to students that there must be no parties.”
There must be no parties. "Must", not "should not"
“Students have also been warned that any breaches of the new rules "will not be tolerated".”
Definite mention of “rules.”
"The stricter guidelines were announced after opposition leaders accused First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of a "basic failure" to anticipate the problem and provide more testing on university campuses."
So we’re back to “guidelines"
"Universities Scotland said the new guidance that had been agreed with the Scottish government…"
And “guidance.”
“The new rules state that all universities will "make absolutely clear to students that there must be no parties, and no socialising outside their households".//
But now we’re back to “rules.”
“They go on to say: "This weekend, the first of the new tighter Scottish government guidance, we will require students to avoid all socialising outside of their households and outside of their accommodation. 'We will ask them not to go to bars or other hospitality venues.' “
But then we’re “asking them” and back to “guidance.”
“Nicola Sturgeon later clarified that the rules about avoiding hospitality applied only to this weekend.”
But then again, “rules.”
What are these people up to? "Rules" or "Guidance". If the guidance is not covered by the law, how are they going to "require" students (who are adults, remember) to "avoid all socialising outside of their households"?
These governments need to decide whether they are asking or telling. Either way it's not going to make much difference. Students will socialise and that's that.

more gobble de gooky in Nature
makes no sense at all - - so welcome to AB
"what we didnt model was if people tested positive they would go to parties....."
NJ in the voice of Dr Johnson in Blackadder ....
Model ! Moddddddeelllllll ! - - - - - [sossidge sketch,funny dat]
Readers may not know that over twenty years - the meaning of must and should has coned down to aviation speak who did it first
must - if you do not you will attract sanctions
should - this describes best practice
clearly to my mind as a retired administrator
"should" from govt can be translated to "must" locally at an institution or employer
introducing sex into all this - and so for instance
Boris can bonk and have a baby
whereas Sr Maria Magdalena Purificanda ( pure no more) if she has a baby at a local convent is OUT !
[that would be a 'MUST not' for AB slow readers]
