which includes emails from around campus and the college. I offer my apologies to the original authors of these emails for my editorial work. This weekly email will contain priorities, updates, reminders, notices of upcoming events and accolades. I hope that
Amanda and I can save you some time sorting through emails to find the information most relevant to your work. We plan to deliver the

will take place<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Friday, October 16<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>at 3 PM</b>. This forum is intended to support<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>faculty<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and
graduate students in instructional roles who face a new dilemma related to remote/online teaching on topics deemed sensitive by the Chinese government. On the one hand, the UO treats academic freedom, especially in classrooms, as the cornerstone of our values
and foundational to our educational mission. On the other hand, we are also not naive in realizing that many international students self-censor in our classes for fear of reprisals from their home governments if they engage actively on topics those governments
consider taboo or sensitive. Remote and online instruction increases the possibility for surveillance, multiplying considerably the stress and fear many students feel. Moreover, since July 1, the <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52765838" title="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52765838"><span style="color:#954F72">new
Hong Kong National Security Law</span></a> actively and explicitly criminalizes, among other things, "undermining the power or authority of the central government” and “collusion with foreign or external forces.” The chilling effect experienced by our students
who come to the United States may now become the concrete threat of harm to all members of our campus community, especially those working or learning from abroad.As the <a href="https://www.asianstudies.org/aas-statement-regarding-remote-teaching-online-scholarship-safety-and-academic-freedom/"><span style="color:purple">Association
of Asian Studies</span></a> has noted, there are no easy answers to this dilemma. As we seek to balance academic freedom with care for students, this forum will:<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
