While I wholeheartedly agree with the intent behind this sort of protest, this moves universities into a more illegitimate category and jeopardizes their students' lives. It gives fuel to people who call universities as scams, and gives ICE an excuse to go after students and faculty for abetting this scheme. While this is fun to fantasize about on Twitter for Likes, universities are part of the countries' major institutions and are under major scrutiny so must follow the law to the letter.
- jrumbut 6y agoUniversities could pander and make the class on the US Constitution (a relatively short document) where the in-person component is an easy oral exam, given to each student individually so they do not have to gather in a classroom. Other options which may be a good idea to do anyway is a public speaking class or a discussion class (almost exclusively on zoom) where students are asked to reflect on their goals and future plans.
- asciident 6y agoThey already have classes like that. The only difference is they're at their standard level of rigor. So you're just proposing increasing enrollment and dropping standards.
