How is @UChicago going to ensure the security of the community that the university exists in? 1/4 https://twitter.com/UChicago/status/1278077885732003842
This university exists on the south side of Chicago, surrounded by almost entirely Black communities that have been disproportionately killed by #COVIDー19

What about those who work at the university? Not the faculty — the university has made it clear what it will do to protect the faculty (though I'm skeptical about that too) — but the dining hall workers and facilities personnel and office staff? 3/4
