Two teachers groups at Utah Valley University have written a letter of censure to the school's administration regarding its handling of COVID-19.
The American Federation of Teachers and the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors directed the censure to President Astrid Tuminez and other administrators"for countenancing unsafe and unhealthy conditions in work and learning spaces shared by students, staff and faculty."
In the letter, the teachers and professors allege that they had no input into the development and implementation of the protocols, and are now"scrutinized" for modifying courses due to the university's deficiencies in testing and classroom monitoring.
