The YDN reports on DEFY’s efforts to make hybrid learning accommodations availabe for students with disabilities in light of the dynamic COVID-19 landscape on campus:
“In the wake of the recent COVID-19 surge across campus, students from Yale Hybridize Now — alongside almost 500 signatories — are calling on the University to “hybridize” and offer the option for students and professors to attend all classes either in-person or online.
The Yale Hybridize Now campaign, sponsored primarily by Disability Empowerment for Yale, was founded in early February by Julia Miranda ’24 and priva v. ’23. At the time of publication, the group’s petition had a total of 483 signatures, as well as endorsements from 13 Yale organizations across Yale College, Yale’s graduate and professional schools and two non-Yale groups. The primary demand of the petition is to mandate hybrid model accessibility for all Yale course offerings.
