Dear President Pollack,

 

It is my pleasure to convey Resolution 15: Requesting that First-Year Writing Seminar Instructors be Allowed to Hold Virtual Discussions in Whatever Way They Deem Appropriate.  First-Year Writing Seminar (FWS) instructors have concerns about the privacy, equity, and logistical implications of recording live-video discussions which will then be viewed asynchronously by their students. This is an issue for FWS instructors who have internet connectivity issues or who cover sensitive topic matters. This resolution asks that FWS instructors be given the freedom to hold discussions in whichever way they deem is most appropriate for their courses.

 

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Andy Leonel Barrientos-Gómez
