As of right now, this cybersecurity breach has escalated beyond just academic disruption. Some students have reportedly experienced compromised passwords and concerns involving account security. Because of this, there is no clear timeline for when this situation will fully be resolved, adding another level of panic, uncertainty, and stress across campus. Students are being expected to prepare for finals while simultaneously worrying about their academic future, personal information, and online security. This is not a normal situation, and it cannot be treated like one. Baylor University needs to take immediate action and remain compliant with what is necessary and fair for its students during this crisis. Whether that means flexible grading policies, online finals once systems are restored, or academic accommodations, students deserve transparency, stability, and protection.

Our grades and our identities are not something to be taken lightly.
