With the University of Ottawa moving classes online, and evicting four thousand students from residences, students face precarious conditions of uncertainty in life, health, housing, and academia due to COVID.

We call to the University of Ottawa, the Dean of each Faculty, and the President, Jacques Frémont to consider to only humane solution: Make pass/failing classes an option for students this semester.

To read more about why Universities should move to pass/failing this semester, please see this very well-argued case by the Daily Princeton:

Other Universities who have made their semester pass/fail:

Smith College

MassachusettsInstitute of Technology (MIT)

Georgetown University

Middlebury College

.... and more moving towards it every day.

E-mail template to contact the Dean of your faculty directly coming soon. 

Solidarity amongst students! Pass/fail while COVID prevails!
