Petition: Help us Keep all Wildcats Safe!
We, the undersigned alumni, students, parents of students, and community members at the University of Kentucky, call on President Eli Capilouto to take the following steps to ensure the health and safety of the campus community for all students and workers:
-Offer free, continuous COVID-19 testing to all students, faculty and workers.
-Be completely transparent with the campus community (including parents, students and workers) around infections, COVID-19-related deaths, and contact tracing at UK.
-Offer all staff and faculty whose work allows it the choice to be remote to lower the density of staff on campus and the likelihood of an outbreak.
-Cover all healthcare costs associated with COVID-19 for campus workers.
-Offer all campus workers affordable, comprehensive healthcare during and beyond the pandemic.
-Offer Hazard Pay to in-person workers.
-Meet with United Campus Workers of Kentucky to discuss implementing these changes.
