Dear campus community,
Sadly, a resident of Santa Clara County died earlier today from the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). 的 Santa Clara County Public Health Department has confirmed 37 cases at the time of this email. This number will escalate as more people report and are tested.
After consulting with California State University System Chancellor Tim White and a variety of other leaders representing our unions, the Academic Senate, and the student body, I have 使 decisions regarding 面对面的类. 的 campus, however, remains open for normal business. This decision is meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community, reduce the potential of people being infected, and protect those who are most vulnerable to severe 疾病.
For these reasons, please note the following:
- All 面对面的类 are suspended from March 10-13. This time is to be used for faculty and staff to prepare for the transition from in-person instruction to “distributed” or “fully online” instruction. 见下文.
- Current online 类 will continue to be held.
In-person 类 will move to either distributed or fully online instruction from March 16-27 when a determination will be 使 and communicated regarding in-person 类.
From March 10-13, Academic Affairs will provide support and training to assist faculty and teaching associates, as applicable, with moving their 面对面的类 to distributed or fully online modalities. Whereas fully online means that all course material is delivered through an online format, a distributed class may include aspects, such as synchronous live lectures delivered from 一个’s office or distributed materials that are returned to the instructor via a variety of modalities. This provides maximum flexibility to each instructor within the confines of this very challenging public health care environment.
To reiterate, these 类 will resume as distributed or fully online instruction 3月16日至27日. 教师 must obtain permission to continue teaching in an in-person 格式(e.g., in smaller lab courses, field schools, art studios, etc.). 在每种情况下 of approval, the dean may ask for clarification about how the course design can be modified to reduce transmission risk (e.g., lab 类 broken up into different rooms, or art studio design time spread out). We know that this work is not easy and appreciate every一个’s best effort to meet the needs of our students while also keeping our community 安全.
In the coming weeks, we will make a decision about whether to resume 面对面的类 春假之后. We will notify the campus community when the decision has been 使.
请参阅 校园信息 sent out Sunday evening for information on operations other than course instruction.
We understand this is a time of great uncertainty, and we appreciate the contributions and patience of the Spartan community as we continue to work through the changing landscape caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. If you have any questions, please email healthadvisories@cfematico.com.
