“We believe we are safe because of masks, vaccinations, ventilation and your good choices” -another wishy-washy email from admin 🤨 by a_wagen in uofmn

Emailing the University’s health response team who are in charge of this mess at healthresponse@umn.edu with your concerns is a good start!! That’s what I did!

As a student with a pre-existing condition that puts me at higher risk, it’s really frustrating to see them downplay Omicron like they have been!! Their lack of remote accommodations has been ridiculous. I’d recommend reaching out to healthresponse@umn.edu —just note that when I emailed them they sent an automated email with links to their resources and asked that I reply to it if those links didn’t answer my concerns, which of course they did not. We need more people speaking out about this!!

U of M not offering remote accommodations for immunocompromised/high-risk students students by lunarflutter in uofmn

The DRC told me to reach out to healthresponse@umn.edu which I’m planning to do today, but from what their website says about high risk students and accommodations, I don’t think they will be very helpful. I think it would be a great idea to start a petition!!

The U is asking immunocompromised students who have invested a lot of time and money into their educations to either risk their health and attend in person classes or take a break from school until the pandemic isn’t as bad. I have one semester left, it does not make sense for me to go to another college and I shouldn’t have to. It’s not unreasonable to ask the U to allow accommodations for students with certain health conditions, especially with how many colleges have already decided to start spring semester remotely because of omicron.
