Members of the University System of Georgia: Email the Chancellor and fill out online form for BoR: chancellor@usg.edu usg.edu/contact/ Let them know of your concerns. Flood their inboxes.
Wrapped up my 1st week of teaching this semester. <50% of students were masked in my classes (full capacity, no distancing) despite my county now experiencing highest cases & hospitalizations since pandemic began. @BORUSG's disregard for wellbeing of fac/staff/students is clear

Meanwhile, large events are taking place with mostly unmasked people. The university president wears a mask that says “do right,” but it’s dangling from one ear. 👀 (I didn't take these pics... They were posted on the university's social media accounts.) 5/5
