The students in the CTVA Film/Television Production majors feel that it is unjustifiable to charge full tuition for our Spring 2020 semester due to the current public health crisis in America. We do not have the production resources available to us to fulfill our learning requirements, as we don't have physical access to the equipment and locations necessary to be successful in this major. The online learning platform simply does not encompass the essence of production, and there is truly no way to make up for it.

This unforeseen tragedy in the history our nation (and our world) affects not only our school but our personal lives. For many we have lost our jobs - myself included - and are torn to see all of the additional expenses associated with our production classes (set design, locations, etc.) gone to complete waste in a time of financial crisis. Although this does not concern the University specifically, perhaps it can provide insight into the situations of the students in the program.

We are requesting that CTVA Film and Television classes associated with PRODUCTION are reimbursed to an extent that is deemed fit. We also find that the campus fees (student union fee, campus quality fee, etc.) are no longer appropriate given the situation.
