<div>Hello Elizabeth,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">A number of us in the senate would like to suspend the rules today to discuss the measures proposed for spring term and pass a resolution to guarantee academic standards. Kristen Yarris, Eileen Otis and I have discussed in particular language
for a possible motion as follows:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
At other campuses across the region and around the US, faculty are doing some or all of the following in response to efforts to mitigate risk of coronavirus spread and in transitioning to online instruction for spring term, 2020:</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue" dir="ltr">
<br>
</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
a) demanding two weeks at the start of spring term with no instruction as prep time to move all classes online,</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
b) acknowledging that online education is never the same quality or value as what we do in classroom/in person teaching. Not setting an expectation that we will be great or even good at teaching online in the spring, with so little transition time (doing just
ok as a form of resistance),</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
c) making sure that online content is faculty intellectual property, not turning that over to universities or departments,</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
d) having week-long inservice meetings and trainings to prepare to teach online before actually doing so,</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
e) acknowledging the impact that all this will have not just on professional-class workers, but on the service workers around us, who clean and maintain and otherwise keep our universities running,</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
f) having the institution finance the technology and infrastructure we need to do online teaching (e.g. site licenses for Zoom and other online platforms), </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -apple-system, HelveticaNeue">
g) recognizing and seeking to mitigate the impact of the virus not just on our universities and students, but on the public health systems that surround us.</div>
<br>
</div>
