RE: Classroom Capacity Lifts
Per our discussion in Core Cabinet, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ plans to be in Phase D or Phase E by Fall 2021. As such, we are planning for full occupancy in the residence halls and in classrooms. This has been communicated in the Cornerstone for the past two weeks.
Would you please alert your relevant departments who are not already aware that our planning assumption is that ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ classrooms will be returned to full capacity and full occupancy for the fall semester. I understand that decisions need to be made shortly from a class planning and scheduling standpoint. We will, of course, closely monitor the COVID situation throughout the summer, including CDC, State of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, and UA System guidance and make alternate plans if required to do so.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
