Reasonable Accommodations

This week, we welcome Jason Helms, associate professor of Rhetoric in the English Department at Texas Christian University. This summer, Jason "went viral" when he tweeted that TCU had refused his request to teach online to protect his 2-year-old daughter, who has a congenital heart defect. In part due to Jason's savvy navigation of media, TCU reversed course.  He reflects on the experience with us.
