Inequality for All #MacroSW Live Twitter Chat 3/26/2020

As many colleges have gone to remote/online/distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, here’s a great opportunity for students to learn about the roots of income inequality – a status that is reflected today in spending priorities that left our public good subservient to the interests of the wealthier segment of society. We’ll be hosting this chat, with Jimmy Young, PhD, MSW, MPA, from California State University, San Marcos.

UB statement on move to distance learning

 

BUFFALO, N.Y. — For the past month, the University at Buffalo has been preparing to move to a distance learning model for student instruction in response to the evolving COVID-19 situation.

With the governor’s guidance announced today, and in collaboration with SUNY leadership, UB will now move forward to implement its plans for distance learning beginning March 23.

In consultation with SUNY, UB’s leadership will provide more information to our students, faculty and staff this week regarding implementation of distance learning at UB and the availability of on-campus services such as residence halls and dining.

UB has been communicating with the university community via its COVID-19  https://www.buffalo.edu/coronavirus/dashboard.html, which has been updated almost daily since launching in January.
