</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">We are nearly to launch date! Certainly the roads around campus today reflected a dramatic increase in activity as parents and students tackled move-in logistics. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">As you mentally prepare for the start of classes next Monday, I know that many of you have expressed concerns over how to handle students who show up without a mask. I just received the message
below from the Office of the Provost. This material will be posted on the Pandemic Academic Coordination workgroup's website tomorrow (Friday) but I realize that you may not be checking that on a daily basis. Hence my message to you this evening. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I've read through their suggested script and it seems very sensible to me as a guide to handling unmasked student incidents. Most will resolve without disruption. But, we all know that there
will be some that escalate. We seem to be living in an age in which many wish to make a point, and the classroom stage next week seems a venue ripe for grabbing attention. I wish it weren't so, but that's the world we are in today. The attached script
provides you a carefully measured verbal response for each stage in an escalating confrontation. Please read this through so that you are prepared. I suggest printing it out and taking it with you to class. And, if you should have the misfortune of an escalated
incident in your classroom, I think you would be very well served to follow the script closely. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Again, I think (and hope) that the large majority of situations will resolve with the simple request to mask or exit. But, please, please be prepared in the event you have a case that progresses
beyond that. This script keeps you on the right side of university policy, and I think also may serve to defuse a situation that could quickly overheat. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I regret going into a weekend on such a cautionary note. For the most part, I think students will be overjoyed to be back on campus and back in class in person. Let's all keep a good thought
for Monday. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
