EVENT DETAILS

Please attend a joint SpeakOut and News Conference on Wednesday, February 3, 2021 at 8:30 am.  This will be available as both a Zoom meeting and by live-stream, although we request Zoom registration and participation for media. 

This SpeakOut will feature a number of teaching faculty,  graduate teaching assistants, UF staff and students describing their experiences – and challenges – during the Spring 2021 semester at UF.  This event is an personal experience-based follow-up to a SpeakOut event conducted in Fall 2020 that defined specific concerns and demands regarding the University of Florida Face-to-Face Teaching Mandate for Spring Semester 2021. Many of these demands were — and continue to be — minimized or denied by UF.

There will be an opportunity for media Q&A as part of the program.

Speaker list and additional information are available on request and will be distributed after you register.
