A University of Massachusetts union representing resident assistants and peer mentors has issued a no-confidence vote in Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy over the recent COVID-19 outbreak on campus, and is making several demands for improved safety and well-being.
A statement issued Monday on behalf of almost 190 members of the Resident Assistants and Peer Mentors United Union of UAW Local 2322, or about two-thirds of its membership, expresses concern about the self-sequestration order and high-risk posture the campus has been in since Feb. 7.
