Questions were asked about Winter and Summer courses, too. Spring 2022 will be hybrid, online, or in-person. There will be no Webex synchronous or asynchronous courses. There are specific guidelines for online courses; recorded asynchronous lectures cannot be used. Traditional online is without meetings or face-to-face.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Printer Paper: <\/b>Refuse collection has been clarified to the faculty via Provost\u2019s email. Printers remain in offices; some units have a budget for printer cartridges, others do not. Paper will be provided.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>Faculty In-Service Next Week: <\/b>The hybrid meeting will be run by the bylaws and handbook committees\/taskforce.

We need more clarification on these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n HR\/ER GUESTS (Virginia Galdieri and Janet Faber<\/b>)<\/span><\/p>\n Faculty Handbook Update: <\/b>Committee\u00a0 meetings have resumed.\u00a0 Handbook revisions will be discussed at the Faculty In-Service. Janet will reach out to Rachel Budin to organize committee updates. There is nothing new to report since the last FAEC presentation. This was not worked on during the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n Promotion\/Reappointment Software: <\/b>This would be great instead of Google docs. This was discussed in the past and would be welcome if future submissions will be electronic.<\/span><\/p>\n Contact Tracing Concerns: <\/b>Contact-tracing issues (see above) were brought to the attention of the guests. One consideration is whether students in the class are all masked; another is whether there was \u201cclose contact.\u201d This could be difficult to assess and problematic for various reasons. Pandemic Assessment Team will discuss this further and provide clarity.<\/span><\/p>\n NEW BUSINESS<\/b><\/p>\n Faculty Assembly Meetings in the Spring: <\/b>The meetings will be in-person or hybrid.
