Dear Faculty Senators, Deans, Chairs, and friends,<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a 4-minute video summary<\/a> of this week\u2019s COVID numbers, which have decreased on-campus, but in the context of increased numbers in the county and region.<\/p>\n

Right now, we have fewer campus cases, but many in quarantine. As faculty members, we need to encourage students to follow quarantine, even when that means that we faculty have to rethink assignments or how students demonstrate their skills. We should not be simply telling them to get notes from a friend, especially this semester, when we can\u2019t always build community in our classroom. We don\u2019t want students to break quarantine to attend your course activity in person, no matter how important it is. As the semester nears its end (less than three weeks left!), this will become even more important with papers, projects and final exams.<\/p>\n

Being supportive and flexible with students in quarantine and isolation is not just because to be excellent and ethical teachers (although it is), but to encourage everyone to comply with quarantine restrictions. It\u2019s to everyone\u2019s advantage to keep the number of illnesses on campus down. \u00a0We can see the finish line of a successful fall semester.<\/p>\n

\"Faculty<\/p>\n
