I found the town hall to be very dismaying; I've collected here just a few of my tweets along with tweets of others who were live-tweeting during the event using the #OUrSafety hashtag

if faculty are going to be allowed to take their classes outside, why aren't they going to be allowed to take their classes online? https://twitter.com/theJulieAWard/status/1285259886151032833
OU has invested in expensive equipment, chemicals, etc. instead of investing in educational solutions: an investment in online is an investment in education. https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285265849658552321
OU admits that density is a problem: if it is more dangerous in dorms than in apartments off campus, it is also more dangerous in classrooms than in small group study sessions (on campus or off) https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285269266808418312
the petition maintains that faculty, students, and staff all need to be able to choose remote options if that is feasible. are students really going to be able to choose online if they want? https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285270245121417216
why is OU not willing to accommodate faculty who are WILLING to teach online? faculty should be encouraged to teach online, but instead OU is still contemplating only some of the requests to teach online: https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285271486907985920
the president repeatedly set up a false equation between online classes and closing campus; that is a false equation: https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285272488721752064
there will be lots to talk about at the staff town hall next week, that's for sure: https://twitter.com/icebitchcometh/status/1285272587862515713
online classes were repeatedly disparaged, as if a good online class never be a good enough: https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285273604402434048
at the same time that OU is insisting that classes must be in the classroom this Fall for a life-changing OU education, they are launching a new fully online division that claims to be life-changing, world-class, etc. etc. https://twitter.com/OnlineCrsLady/status/1285287223735259136
the OU administration is apparently unwilling to share the kinds of scenarios under which they are going to shut down campus again; yes, we know it is complicated, but we still want to know what factors are being considered: https://twitter.com/ctschroeder/status/1285272983385198592
there were many questions about what will happen if faculty must isolate or become sick and cannot conduct classroom classes: https://twitter.com/JillHicksKeeton/status/1285277626060476419
