Tweet: Reaction to Coronavirus Update at John Jay College (1)
Description
Posted on March 10, 2020, this tweet records one student's outrage over the mere announced one-day closure of John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York (CUNY) following its first confirmed case of COVID-19 among the student body. Containing a litany of CUNY-specific activist hashtags, the tweet broadly typifies the growing sense of unrest over CUNY leadership's general lack of pandemic responsiveness. This particular student framed their outrage with a screen captured email from John Jay President Karol V. Mason, which announced the exposure and offered preparatory guidance for John Jay students, faculty, and staff going forward.

Gold's Spring 2020 Knowledge Infrastructures seminar in the Ph.D. Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY, in partnership with the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Certificate Program. The project's goal was to resist or trouble the discourse of catastrophe around the shift to online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic by documenting the lived experiences of students, faculty, and staff across CUNY's 25 campuses. Further, the project wanted to document the moment of crisis response by taking a critical approach to educational technology.
