As we enter the Spring 2022 semester, and the omicron-fueled surge of the pandemic, we will need to lead with an emphasis on our core values of adaptability and compassion. It is likely that each of you may be faced with a need to make some temporary, rolling,
adjustments to the instructional delivery modes for your academic programs in order to accommodate instructors, TAs or staff who have tested positive (with or without symptoms), or those who have a need to stay home to be with a young child or elder who needs
care following a positive test.<span class="xapple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Individual faculty / instructors must work with you, or the appropriate Program Director, directly, to decide what adjustments are appropriate if they temporarily cannot teach in the normal course modality due to illness or caregiving, just as they should for
any other interruption to instruction (e.g., due to other illness, travel to conferences, etc.). Please ask your faculty and instructors to reach out to you/Program Directors immediately in the event of a change in their circumstances that would necessitate
any temporary adjustments in teaching modality. This is vitally important so that we have equitable outcomes for people across your department and across campus.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Any adjustments to the planned instructional modality should be temporary, and map to the individual circumstances, while ensuring that our commitments to students are upheld to the best extent possible.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Please ensure that you are involved in the communications to the impacted students, to ensure that we have as much uniformity as possible in the messages from your department.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
Remember that we should not ever share someone’s health care status unless the instructor is comfortable doing so. As needed, messages to students should reference “needed COVID mitigation measures” rather than spelling out any specific cause for the temporary
change. See sample scripts for communicating with students <a href="https://arizona.app.box.com/folder/153330347682?s=rk1y9p4j1rqjbg2cslc2oiudluo6894c">

if they are a close contact with a covid-infected person UNLESS they develop symptoms, so generally our instructors will not need to make adjustments if they are deemed close contacts - other than potentially to meet caregiving needs.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
