My vote would be for disposable masks as well.

"We have a contract with CINTAS, who also supplies our lab coats for our students.

Oh ick. Sorry - this just sounds gross to me. I'd wear a laundered lab coat that wasn't assigned specifically to me. But not a face mask!

A disposable mask policy makes sense to me. My $0.02

Best,
Debbie
