ALT The words "Urgent! Dear UCLA Mathematics Department, Chemistry Department and Academic Senate, Math and chemistry students and faculty have reported that due to department policy, people with COVID are being forced to either take their exams in person or miss the final and get a permanent Incomplete marking on their transcript. As a result of this policy, students will end up with Incompletes and be at high risk of being discriminated against as a result, others may ignore COVID symptoms out of fear of missing their final and end up spreading COVID, and professors are being denied the right to protect and be fair to their students. In order to protect the health and rights of students and faculty, we call on the Math Department, the Chem Department and all other departments to allow and require that accommodations such as online testing be provided to people who have COVID or are immunocompromised. Students and faculties' rights must be respected! In solidarity,"

ALT A signatories list: "Carl King Jr., USAC President “The Math and Chem departments should provide accommodations to students who are facing issues as a result of the pandemic immediately. Student safety is a nonnegotiable factor and students should not have to worry about choosing between their own safety and school grades. If the Math and Chem departments are unable to provide accommodations they should release an official statement detailing an attempt to provide accommodations and the reason why they can’t.”-Carl King Phoebe Chiu, Facilities Commissioner on the Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC) Eliana Sisman, General Representative 3 on USAC and Disabled Students Union member Daniela Anais Cortez Bravo, Academic Affairs Commissioner on USAC My-Lan Le, Internal Vice President of USAC"
