The Provost Responded!!:
"Thank you, Cody, for sharing this petition. I appreciate you bringing forward these understandable concerns.
While we have decided not to shift entirely to remote instruction, we have made accommodations to enable departments to temporarily shift classes to remote if high numbers of students are not able to attend class. We continue also to shift classes to remote if instructors are unable to teach in person due to COVID.

TLDR: we know covid is crazy right now but we will still be doing in person, individual professors can choose to do remote or hybrid if they would like.
