Acknowledgements
Various components of this plan were developed by three university-wide working groups: Academics/Instruction/ Instructional Technology, Campus Life and Operations, and Employee Support. Each working group was charged with evaluating scenarios for delivery of academic and community programs and identifying policies, procedures, and resources necessary to return to campus. Faculty and Staff Assemblies also polled their members for input. As we learn more and refine our response to the pandemic, elements of this plan will be revised. We will continue to engage the working groups and other stakeholders as this plan evolves.
We have benefitted from the collaboration of public health and risk management experts from the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. Their assistance with evaluation of our facilities and resources and shared planning documents have enabled us to make timely and informed planning decisions throughout the pandemic. We also thank our EcoLeague partner, New College of Florida, for sharing the “Return to Campus” planning document which informed our discussions and decision-making.
