Adamson University (AdU) administration decided to suspend any online learning activities being held by some faculty members as the COVID-19 pandemic puts chaos in the country.
Last March 17, 2020, Tuesday night, #SuspendOnlineClassesAdU trended on Twitter as students from Adamson University protested the online suspension of virtual classes. The “Twitter Rally” was intended to let the students’ voice be heard and another way for them reach out the administration for an immediate response regarding the matter.
Adamson administration, on the following day (March 18, 2020), released a memorandum stating the temporary cancellation of e-learning activities in consideration for those students with limited access to internet connection and the risk of going out to rent in computer shops.
According from the office of President, administration and faculty must strictly implement the announcement effectively. Thus, any online platforms for learning are not allowed.
As an addition, AdU urged its faculty staffs to affiliate the midterm course syllabus in final term syllabus. While the releasing of midterms grades and tuition fee payments are expected to address appropriately when the classes resume.
On the other hand, students will still comply with their requirements once they get back to their classes.
“Meanwhile, we urge everyone to follow the national safety guidelines in the face of the enhanced community quarantine. Stay safe. Stay healthy,” as Adamson University advisory stated.
