At the University of Richmond, the remainder of 10 varsity sports teams' seasons were canceled because of COVID-19.
Although I understand that serious measures need to be taken to slow down the outbreak and flatten the curve, I urge UR to consider the following:
The adjustments include an extension on the deadline for students to withdraw from classes, a ban on giving out putative grades I,V and M and a grading option of credit/no credit for students.
I do not blame UR for taking this threat seriously. However, some of UR's actions have made some students more anxious about the coming crisis.
As UR moves toward online instruction for the remainder of the spring semester, students are deciding what they should do.
The University of Richmond will delay commencement, move to remote instruction and shift to remote work for employees for the rest of the spring semester.
