UM has lost 5 employees already. How many more will they sacrifice? How many more shall die?
Charlotte, a Michigan Medicine nurse, talks about the severity of COVID-19. We won't know the chronic repercussions for decades. Yet because there is money to be made, UM has decided to put us all at risk.
Julia, a staff member at Ross School of Business reminds us that staff are experts in their content areas, yet treated as lesser than academics. Now, even their lives are undervalued. Staff are being pressured and told to return to work on person, despite exemplary remote work.
Kathleen, a graduate student, reminds us that UM has $6.7 billion of the endowment available in unrestricted reserves. All the regents must do is vote, and the money is there. #RegentsCanYouHearUs We will not sacrifice our lives and futures for you.
"Coronavirus Blues" played for us all
Kathleen reminds us that Aura Rosser's murderer still walks free with a promotion. 5 minutes of death follow.
UM has the numbers but won't share them. How many employees projected to die? For how much profit? What is the price tag that @DrMarkSchlissel has put on our lives?
Thank you to all that have shown up in support today. Graduate students, staff, faculty, Michigan Medicine employees, undergraduates, community allies and more.
69 incarcerated people have already died in Michigan. @GovWhitmer has not acted to protect the elderly and disabled who are at risk, or to release eligible incarcerated people.
Protesters march to Mark Schlissel's house
#UMMakesUsSick Save our health, not your wealth
After leaving roses for @DrMarkSchlissel to remember us by, we marched to the Fleming building. #RegentsCanYouHearUs yet?
