Communications

The following is an archive of communications sent by the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost to faculty, staff, and/or students.

A reminder about the potential need to provide accommodations for students observing religious holidays.

I write to provide details for fall instruction within the framework described in President Gabel’s message and the University’s press release sent earlier today.

Updates about the remainder of the spring semester, plans for the summer and fall, and an invitation to consider lessons learned as we start to think about the future. 

Now that the spring semester is fully underway, I want to take a moment to thank you for all that you have been doing to support the University’s mission. 

The changes made to grading policies earlier this week highlight that flexibility will continue to be important as we head into finals week, especially for students who are experiencing a range of educational barriers supported by the Disability Resource Center (DRC). Please consider providing informal accommodations without DRC letters.
