[Plantsci] UA Policy - Face Mask Requirement

[Stevens, Amanda M - (amanda84)]

Dear SPLS,

This is an important reminder that everyone is required to wear a face mask when on campus.

Employees, Students and Visitors Must Use Face Coverings as Follows:

CLASSROOMS – You are required to wear a face covering in all classrooms and other group instructional settings.

INDOORS – You are required to wear a face covering in all University Buildings, unless you are alone in a single occupancy office.

OUTDOORS – You are required to wear a face covering while in any University of Arizona outdoor space where continuous physical distancing of at least 6 feet is difficult or impossible to maintain.

Please be aware that those not in compliance could now be facing disciplinary actions involving Human Resources.  Supervisors are advised to use a progressive disciplinary process, starting first with a reminder of expectations, and to be followed with further disciplinary action (including the possibility for termination of employment or action by Dean of Students) for repeated and willful disregard of this policy.

Please See Specific Guidance for Supervisors in the Following Links:
Student Expectations and Compliance Protocol<https://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/welcome/face-coverings>
Employee Expectations and Compliance Protocol<https://hr.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/Face%20Covering%20Compliance%20Guidance.pdf>

All course syllabi must include a statement making clear the requirement for face mask, and social distancing.

Thanks for all you are doing to keep us safe,

Matt
