º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½

I write with updates from campus as º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ moves into Gate 2 of its reopening plan.

I write with further updates from campus, where we have just begun our third week of in-classroom instruction this semester.

Tomorrow morning, Sept. 8, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ will move from Gate 0 (universal quarantine) to Gate 1.

With the first week of universal quarantine drawing to a close, I wanted to update you on the news from campus.

This weekend, º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ University and the Village of Hamilton will welcome students back for a new academic year. This annual tradition takes place at an extraordinary moment, and I write with what I expect to be the first of many community updates during the fall 2020 semester.

The Task Force on Reopening has developed a series of phases or Gates, to establish the ways in which º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ will seek to maintain health and safety as we progress through this semester.

On behalf of the Task Force on Reopening the º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Campus, we write to provide an update on our work since our last message on July 22.

º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ has revised its policies and processes for responding to complaints of harassment, discrimination, and sexual violence.

We write to provide an update on º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½â€™s campuswide review of building ventilation and air conditioning systems.

Through the steps we will take together, we can comply with New York State law and increase, collectively, our chances for health and safety.
