College faculty across the U.S. are organizing to force administrators to allow them to teach remotely this fall. They're also rejecting budget cuts and layoffs related to the global health crisis.

The complaints come as officials prepare to reopen campuses nationwide for the fall, a decision that has prompted concerns about the coronavirus spreading.
