“If you don’t feel comfortable returning to campus, I would encourage you to work with your advisors to find the right online classes for you. Our office cannot require that your professors offer hybrid options for their students, but you are certainly welcome to inquire with them.“
- Dr. Kristen Tudor, Office of the President.
This is a high and dry response. Shifting the blame to the Professors is wrong. Professors are relying on department chairs and their respective Deans followed by the President to guide them through University policy. By allowing each individual Professor to dictate whether or not hybrid classes will be taught is a recipe for chaos. Students should have the choice to decide whether or not they will attend virtually or in-person.
Share this petition, the students have the power to change the outcome of this decision.
