Non-instructional well-being day added to spring 2021 academic calendar

Non-instructional well-being day added to spring 2021 academic calendar Dear K-State community, When we announced the adjusted academic calendar for spring 2021 and the elimination of a traditional spring break, we indicated that two non-instructional well-being days would be scheduled in consultation with the Student Governing Association. The university calendar committee, Student Governing Association, and Faculty Senate have provided input and careful consideration of a myriad of factors, including the projected course of the pandemic, the impact on academic instruction, and student and faculty well-being. Based on these factors, input from the university calendar committee and student and faculty leadership, and approval by the Kansas Board of Regents yesterday, I am announcing a single universitywide non-instructional well-being day on April 16. The newly revised spring 2021 calendar reflects this change.

Students and administrators note pros and cons of peer-led public health enforcement

Rice University Mel Xiao, a Rice University senior who helps investigate and adjudicate COVID-19 rule violations by other students, doesn’t mind if she’s viewed by her peers as “big brother” on campus. Xiao is one of 11 students at Rice who served as a judge on the COVID Community Court, or CCC, a student-led judiciary that looks into reports of students neglecting to wear masks or socially distance, or who are hosting visitors in their dorm rooms, which are violations of the university’s Culture of Care Agreement for the 2020-21 academic year. A three-judge panel hears and investigates each low-level COVID-19-related violation and doles out “educational” punishments, such as writing an apology letter or hanging up posters that promote public health measures in their dorm, said Emily Garza, director of student judicial programs at Rice.
