Goodbye 2021….and hello 2022! We hope you got a well-deserved break and are ready for what promises to be a challenging Spring semester.
The University’s Covid safety protocols are not where the FSU would like them to be, especially in terms of testing, masking, and social distancing, but we are nonetheless returning to face-to-face teaching this semester. Requests to temporarily move your class to a remote modality should be made through your Department Chair.
As many of you know, universities across the region and country are requiring Covid testing and N95/KN95 masks (and social distancing) as higher ed institutions return to class during the Omicron spike. The UMass system has decided not to implement any additional safety measures beyond what was in place for the Fall.
