A Call to Action to UIUC to reopen Beckwith Residential Support Services
มุมมอง 7334 ปีที่แล้ว
Hello all, ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Although it has been three weeks since UIUC announced its reopening plans, I found out this week that my accessible dorm would be closed due to COVID-19. This video is not about me. This video is to raise awareness for the disability community and allow me and my peers to continue to thrive in Champaign. If 40,000 students can go ...

hi, Has the brss reopened? -AMBER
Yes
As a former resident of BRSS, this saddens me very much for all returning students as well as all incoming students that need Beckwith services to be able to attend college at one of the most prestigious schools in the country! I hope that the voices of both current students and alumni can be heard by the University and that they will reconsider this detrimental decision! If there is anything I can do as an alumni of BRSS please reach out!
I hope that the university realizes how problematic their current decision is and that people stop getting their college experience taken away because of situations that are out of their control. Your ability to go to school shouldn’t be determined simply by your disability. I wish you the best of luck Zain, not only during these times, but also with the rest of your time at UIUC. Thank you for bringing light to this issue.
