Response Highlights
- "On behalf of the UHWO Executive Team, mahalo for sending us Resolution No. SR 20-01, Urging UHWO Faculty and Instructors to Temporarily Modify Course Requirements in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic."
- "We are pleased to read in the resolution an acknowledgement of the efforts of your instructional faculty and staff... who had to quickly adapt to the changes we made to deliver courses online and provide support services so students are able to successfully complete the semester."
- "Please know that there has been consistent messaging from the Chancellor, Vice Chancellors, and Division Chairs to instructional faculty to be flexible and compassionate in their teaching, assignments, due dates and tests while maintaining a meaningful learning experience."
- "While we are communicating and working with faculty/instructors to better understand the implications of this pandemic and the added burden it places on their students, we understand that there will continue to be those who will disagree with our request and tone-deaf to the circumstances around them. We advise that students seek assistance from their program Division Chair and Academic Adviser."
- "Please know that we understand that filling an academic grievance at this already stressful time presents unnecessary burden on you, hence our support staff will work had to resolve issues beforehand. However, there may be times when this is the best route to address these issues."
