January 11, 2022
To: University Community
From: Vice President for Administration Michelle Rogers and the COVID Task Force
Subject: COVID-19 Update
On Jan. 2, we announced that all courses would be taught online Monday, Jan. 10 through Monday, Jan. 17 in recognition of the challenges of meeting the testing conditions for return to campus, the rise in positivity rates driven predominantly by Omicron, and expected surge following holiday celebrations and travel.
We write today to address the University’s plans for learning modality in the coming weeks by following the most reliable data and asking for everyone to plan flexibly. To maximize the amount of data we have to inform the decision about the College’s teaching and learning modality for the week of Jan. 18, we will announce a decision at the latest by Friday, Jan. 14.
The COVID Task Force, in consultation with President Krista Newkirk, has reached the following decisions on how to proceed:
We remain committed to preserving the health and well-being of our communities, and we are hopeful we can soon return to in-person operations. As always, thank you for your flexibility in the face of changing conditions.
