oh huh. This tweet from last year appears to have gone mildly viral. Neato (and reminder as always) https://twitter.com/juliarburnham/status/1203513391622410246

While we’re at it today, it is worth emphasizing that *compassion* is at the core of the newly revised UBCV academic concessions policy. Students, you are not obligated to present a doctors note to verify your illness. Professors, you should not be asking.

Also: departmental leadership - stop framing academic concessions as a “privilege”, when this is in direct contrast to the values presented within the academic concessions policy.

**** to be super clear, if you’re experiencing long term health issues with dedicated care that have made you require multiple concessions, you may be asked to provide documentation/directed to the CfA for long term support+options.
But for a bad flu or COVID, absolutely not.
