FSU Welcome - Safety Update and Actions

9/7/2021

Dear FSU Members, 

Join us Friday (3:30-4:30pm) for a Week One Check-In:  (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom information).

Welcome to the first day of Fall semester 2021.  Along with you, we are excited and uneasy about the return, and also have real concerns about our ability to remain face-to-face in the coming weeks.

FSU - Important Update and Action

8/26/2021

Dear FSU Members, 

Yesterday the FSU held a Forum on safety and the campus Fall opening that was attended by about 90 members.  The meeting was clarifying on a number of levels, but perhaps most simply in the consensus that the university is not doing enough to protect the campus (and wider) community as we return in the midst of the ongoing challenge posed by Delta.  

Tomorrow’s FSU Forum – Guest…Format Change

8/24/2021

Dear FSU Members,

A slight/recent change in format.   Rob Pomales, the Executive Director of University Health Services, will be joining the first half of our meeting tomorrow, from 9:00 to 9:45.  He will address concerns around campus density, tracing, and vaccines.  The second half from 9:45 to 10:30 will be an open meeting for FSU members to discuss safety issues and paths forward for faculty and librarians.

 (contact FSU or Steve Striffler for Zoom information).

FSU Forum on Fall Opening – Wednesday 9am

8/23/2021

Dear FSU Members,

You have probably seen the Chancellor’s memo containing the university’s “Fall 2021 COVID-19 Policies & Guidelines.”  We have already received emails from members noting that although the policies/guidelines address some issues, the memo falls short in a number of areas – including some of the concerns outlined in this FSU statement that over 90% of faculty supported (out of over 400 polled).
