US university workers fight a return to campus
Lawsuits and protests are among the ways that graduate students, faculty members and other campus staff are pushing back against requirements that they return to campus after their summer break. One group has filed a lawsuit claiming that the University of North Carolina (UNC) system, which includes 16 institutions across the state, has not provided a safe workplace. UNC-Chapel Hill is already facing an outbreak that has affected 60 staff and more than 1,000 students. Institutions are under pressure to reopen to safeguard their incomes. “They either have to risk a public-health disaster or face a certain financial calamity,” says historian Jay Smith, the vice-president of the American Association of University Professors’ chapter at UNC-Chapel Hill.Nature | 7 min read
