[quote=Anonymous]Agree with many previous posters.

1. Reach out to prof and make sure that what they are hearing is what is meant.

2. Contact department head/chair of the department where the class is being taught.

3. If situation is not resolved, contact dean of students (or similar position). If no dean of students exists for the college, there is probably a head for the (school/college/whatever they use to section up departments)  or dean of that college.

The university I work at is being very strict we must teach, in-person, at least once per week. They are at least allowing us to have a larger space or change our schedule around so that students aren't packed like sardines in the room. However, they have also said that we need to be prepared to accommodate any student who isn't comfortable coming to class or who is in quarantine.

There are some classes (labs, nursing, anatomy) where in-person  is really important.  There are also issues right now because the federal government is kicking online-only foreign students out of the country.

Finally, if your student has any sort of disability or heath issues that are documented, they should go through the schools office of disability services. [/quote]
