Illuminating comments coming from our university! We urge them to listen to our demands to ensure that we truly can "offer a safe educational environment" regardless of class modality.

I stand w/the students of #kentstate I'm an (unprotected) adjunct who teaches at NYC study away program. Kent admin expects us in the classroom next week while #Omicron surges. I'm told my choice to teach online is political. It's a health & safety issue. Will they fire me?

UPDATE: Due to inclement weather, our die-in protest will now be virtual. We look forward to seeing you there. Read more here instagram.com/p/CY2BE_JAxak/…

KSU students protest virtually over COVID policy record-courier.com/story/news/202…

We're looking to collect stories of how COVID has been handled during the first week of classes - share your experiences and spread this link around: bit.ly/week1ksu #FlashesTakeCareOfFlashes

Common demands we've heard so far: • No mandatory in-person attendance • Provide accommodations even w/o disability documentation; documentation = access barrier • Offer hybrid/remote access for ANYONE who needs it right now – and ensure they're meaningfully included in class

Today we, COVID Safe Campus, published our list of demands for #HigherEd This working draft reflects the concerns and demands of over 80 students, faculty, and staff, plus our public health expertise at CSC. View at: covidsafecampus.org/demands Stay tuned for more resources soon!

We are honored to be joining forces with Disabled in Higher Ed - #DisInHigherEd today to raise visibility for the experiences and struggles disabled and high risk academics have faced in accessing accommodations throughout the pandemic, share your story with each question using the hashtag: #DisInHEChat

We've seen this happening across so many universities and we have been continually disappointed that our university is stripping both COVID precautions and COVID-related accommodations. #DisInHEChat

Access to accommodations is a systemic equity issue especially when our safety and lives are endangered by #COVID19 policy failures Too few people get the accommodations and protection they need We need to organize for equitable access to education and safety for all #DisInHEChat
