In a Town Hall conversation that drew nearly 750 viewers, University ofÌýDenver Chancellor Jeremy Haefner brought the ÎÄÐù̽»¨ community together virtually to share stories and reflect on the ways teaching, learning and social engagement have evolved over the past two months.
In this critical time for higher education and the economy, I am writing to let you know that we have been working closely with the government officials who are entrusted with deciding how to allocate COVID-19 emergency resources that could potentially benefit higher education institutions, including the ÎÄÐù̽»¨.
I invite students, faculty, staff, alumni and parents to join me and other community members for a digital conversation about how physical distance has impacted teaching, learning, wellbeing and our sense of community at ÎÄÐù̽»¨.
During these extraordinary times, when each day brings another unforeseen challenge, it is critical to stay focused on our mission, our visionÌýandÌýour principles. Today the issue is a modified Pass/Fail option for our students and the principle is equity.
Our work to support diversity, equity and inclusion is especially important now, as crises typically put a disproportionate amount of pressure on marginalized populations.
