Something is awry

The @Stanford #CampusCompact has been in the works since at least July 22nd

Stanford Faculty Senate Chair @StearnsLab did't see the text of the #CampusCompact before enrollment holds were placed and students were informed to to sign https://twitter.com/StearnsLab/status/1294793712522760198
This hard to reconcile with the Aug. 15 email from the Vice Provosts for Student Affairs and Graduate Education

That is awfully hard to reconcile with this text. Someone's lying here and, judging by the shock from faculty, I don't think it's them.
The Stanford #CampusCompact has been in the works for weeks!

If they weren't going to consult students and post-docs, why did they wait until registration to drop it on us?

No signature = no classes, no stipend

@StanfordHousing initiated graduate student move-in without a plan for testing!

I am getting a TBD roommate from TBD at TBD and I can't contact this person!

After the petition below, we got an evasive response

Students have been at this for weeks! We're trying to prevent a completely self-inflicted outbreak

We are 5 months into a the pandemic. @Stanford's still does not do weekly testing

The @broadinstitute was able to get regular testing running... in May! https://www.broadinstitute.org/news/how-broad-institute-converted-clinical-processing-lab-large-scale-covid-19-testing-facility

With the #CampusCompact, they're trying to shift responsibility for their failures onto students with unconscionable guidelines and vague, unquestionable Eviction Panels

We individually are responsible for the failure to act collectively https://twitter.com/looogannn/status/1294709180968755200
And, as unfair as that is, I say let us! We have plenty of students who can run these tests. Who do they think *develops* COVID tests??

But, we are forbidden

It's our problem and we @Stanford reminds us it's *illegal* to solve it
The FDA and CDC abdicated their responsibility to support widespread testing. We follow regulations on the premise that benefit > cost. What happens when the harm far outweighs the risk?

Can we recognize when moral obligations trump legal fears? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/coronavirus-testing-delays.html
‘It’s Just Everywhere Already’: How Delays in Testing Set Back the U.S. Coronavirus Response

A series of missed chances by the federal government to ensure more widespread testing came during the early days of the outbreak, when containment would have been easier.

We students are trying to prevent an outbreak. Our requests are reasonable!

Do we believe @Stanford is *incapable* of regular testing?

I'm tired of being coerced and gaslit. Isolation or eviction is not a solution
