American Airlines seems to not have this policy, at least the people on the phone don't think so. Fingers crossed. hope you can be with your woman soon bro

Jonny 290 posted:it still blows my loving mind that everybody hasn't normalized on slack and zoom. about half of the professors here have started using slack to coordinate stuff that would normally happen in person and it's working well the other half of the professors have hit the roof because they don't want to use slack but knowing that other people are talking about stuff in it makes them feel excluded, so now they're insisting that no one should be permitted to discuss university business in any channel they don't want to use (and are coming up with bullshit justifications like "security" and "the contract")

also i'm really tortured about whether i should require students to have video on during our "class" sessions. i don't want to invade their privacy, and i know that many of them are in uncertain living situations right now, may not have fast internet, might have to share space with family members, etc. but it's so much better when everyone can see each other. a disembodied voice and a list of names is not a replacement for a classroom. people are already socially isolated and it's just getting worse and people need to talk to one another and feel like they're still connected. i am getting like 10% of the student engagement that i normally get in person; nobody asks questions any more, people can't chat with one another on the side. plus i hate lecturing to a blank screen in my apartment. it blows

Give people the option during lectures and schedule short video one-on-ones to check in with your students that aren't doing video in class? That would be a little less intimidating maybe.
