Update on Indoor Masking Requirements & Testing

Dec. 15, 2021

Dear colleagues,

We wanted to share an additional update on our COVID-19 protocols as we prepare for our winter break and the new semester next month.

One of those updates relates to our requirement for indoor masking on campus, regardless of vaccination status. That requirement will now remain in place through Sunday, Jan. 9.

Please Note: We also wanted to confirm some additional details about the proposed Occupational Safety & Health Administration Emergency Temporary Standard, which would require weekly testing for employees who are not vaccinated. If that does take effect early next year (it is currently under legal review), 老司机传媒 will cover the costs connected with that weekly COVID-19 testing for those who are not fully vaccinated.

However, if the Emergency Temporary Standard does not take effect next year, for those who are not vaccinated or who do not have previously acquired immunity the current expectation of a monthly COVID-19 test at an employee’s personal expense will remain. You can find more information on COVID-19 testing locally, including free options, .

We’re planning for a virtual Employee Town Hall on Thursday, Jan. 6, at 3:30 p.m., to review COVID-19 updates and protocols for spring semester. We’ll share additional details on that Town Hall, including Zoom links, on Monday, Jan. 3. Thank you, in advance, for your participation in that Town Hall.

Continued wishes for God’s blessings as you prepare for the Christmas holidays and the New Year to come.

Cordially,

Andrea Luxton
President
