Looking to interview an immunocompromised person who has been impacted by the lifting of mask mandates. DM or email me at [email protected] if interested! #journorequest #disabilitytwitter #cripthevote

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

@PhilChodrow @EmiDoesMath @uclamath @uclachem Yes! It's a common policy that is extremely ableist in general and dangerous in the context of a pandemic. Which is why we're asking people to email the departments and not the professors!

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

The math & chemistry departments @uclamath @uclachem is endangering its students.
Students have reported that a Math professor is forcing students to take finals in-person despite multiple people in that lecture testing positive for Covid. Similar reports coming from chem.

It’s not just medical doctors who love me! I have PhD friends on campuses everywhere too! ❤️

[Statephobic AF @dckcrusher]

According to some students talking about it on reddit a couple of proffesors have said that whoever tests positive and misses the final will get an incomplete for the class and have to retake the final in the fall @UCLA really doesn't care about students

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

Just spotted the grammatical error in the first tweet...It's the finals brain.

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

If you are a current student or alum of these departments, or simply want to support these students, send an email to the math and chemistry departments: Tell them they must stop endangering students.

@speer_isaac @uclamath @uclachem Yes - and we heard @uclamath also forced a different professor for the same course to move their online exam to in-person. Professors and students alike should have the choice to protect themselves, especially given that we're in a severe surge now!

@UCLA's graduation ceremonies are in-person, illegally excluding high-risk and disabled Bruins from celebrating with peers.

Seeing tons of graduation photos (masses of people & no masks) and my heart is breaking for all of the Disabled & immunocompromised students who would have liked to celebrate their graduation too but have to make the choice to survive instead.

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

COVID policies on college campuses affect students’ health and access to education, especially for those who are high risk.

Help students make informed choices as college decision day approaches.

Report your school's COVID policies at the link below: https://t.co/bpS9dQo0YK

@NohaAboelataMD @WireDisability @AyLilGiraffe @alanasaltz @UCLA They claim remote access is too costly, that people don't really need it because everything is safe, and it would interfere with "academic freedom." (They don't allow professors to choose to teach remotely though, so.)

[CDC hate group director 🇵🇸 @baroque_bitch]

hey @UCLA researchers in epi, public health, infectious disease/virology, etc who are concerned with UCLA's reckless covid policies – DM me or @dsuucla.

(Or any non-UCLA researchers who agree their anti-mask policies are dangerous!)

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

@NohaAboelataMD @WireDisability @AyLilGiraffe @alanasaltz @UCLA This is true for most if not all UC campuses. Hence @resist_uci @UCDavisDRAC etc.

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

@NohaAboelataMD @WireDisability @AyLilGiraffe @alanasaltz @UCLA They do not. Even for students with extensive documentation for a disability/high-risk condition, it is nearly impossible to get remote access if the professor isn't already offering it (and few professors do). Zero options for those w/o formal accommodations.

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

we finally got an email about @UCLA's Covid plans amid the rise of BA.2!
