"These types of xenophobic comments and stigmatizations around location or ethnicity are more than troubling. We can better protect and care for all when we speak about COVID-19 with both accuracy and empathy — something we should all strive for," Weidner said in a statement. Weidner also said Ucker has a policy of dropping one lab grade, so Sotzing's missed grade would not be recorded.
"Academic accommodations are necessary to safeguard the health and safety of our students, and faculty are encouraged to be flexible with attendance policies and other aspects supporting academic progress — particularly for students in isolation and quarantine," Weidner added.Sotzing could not immediately be reached for comment.
