SUNY Cortland Students Deserve More Wellness Days!!!

The Issue

Normally, in a pre-COVID academic year, SUNY Cortland students would receive five days off for Spring Break. We understand that the college decided to take away this break for safety reasons (not wanting students to travel during this time), and rightly so! However, if we are normally given five days off, this should translate into five separate wellness days. But we have only been given two! Given the strenuous conditions this pandemic has put not only onto our academic lives, but our lives in countless other aspects, we feel that being given two wellness days is almost, if not completely laughable. We deserve our five days off!!! Even if they cannot be consecutive due to the pandemic!!!
