If you want to know what opening universities during a pandemic means for the people who make campus life possible, WATCH THIS. It includes the personal testimonies of university workers across the UNC system — housekeepers, maintenance staff, student workers, and others. https://twitter.com/workersunionunc/status/1283946365278707713

I also speak briefly in the above video but my bit is skippable; listen to the people who are really on the front lines of campus reopenings & hear how they’re being put in danger, kept in the dark, & treated as expendable, all for the sake of college athletics & “campus life”

A few key points:

* Staff are not being provided with proper PPE
* No one is being told what the safety plans are. Are there plans?
* When a cluster of football players got COVID-19 at UNC, the housekeepers who CLEAN THE DORMS were not informed; they heard about it on TV
