“To the greatest extent possible, we need to keep people employed, not just because we care about them and we need to continue delivering services, but because the money we pay them is part of how we rebuild our economy,” Hahn said at the meeting. “We should be considering all ways that we can put public dollars to work to support a local recovery.”
According to Hans de Wit, director of Boston College’s Center for International Higher Education, top research institutions will see little difference in their foreign student enrollment, but smaller private institutions will face a larger effect. Institutions need to improve rather than hit the “reset button” when there is an opening to resume normal instruction, de Wit added.
According to Obermeyer, bias involved in algorithms and data collection has the potential to be “dangerous” both generally and when looking to understand the pandemic’s severity. Algorithms require specific variables and datasets that bring to question how the “messy” concept of health and deterioration was translated into a specific variable. “Be careful what you ask an algorithm to do — it’s going to do it,” Obermeyer said during the livestream.

“As a public institution, UC has a responsibility to support its employees and local communities to the greatest extent possible, including avoiding layoffs,” Gordon said in the email. “The president and chancellors also want to help UC employees take all health precautions necessary and support the aim of flattening the curve of the pandemic, which is particularly important right now.”
If elected, Kubeisy said he will work to increase safety on campus, protect free speech and make the ASUC more accessible to students. “With the increased threat of active shooters on campus, I will advocate for the administration to increase the number of doors that can be locked on the inside,” Kubeisy said in an email. “With the upcoming 2020 election, it is important to ensure that students can freely advocate for their preferred candidates and issues. I think many students find the ASUC intimidating, so I’ll try to educate them on what it does and how they can get involved.”
