Some faculty members at Spelman College are refusing to teach classes in person due to a lack of clarity on COVID-19 safety guidelines from administrators and will for the time being continue virtual instruction. “Much to our disappointment,” they said in a message to students last week, “faculty have not received clear and enforceable protocol and safety guidelines that will ensure our health and wellbeing when teaching face-to-face. While awaiting acceptable responses to these concerns, we have decided not to teach in-person. Most faculty will use alternative instructional methods for course delivery.” ajc.com
