<p class="MsoNormal">Dear COE Faculty and Staff,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is the university’s expectation that a majority of employees will return to work at a UO location by September 13<sup>th</sup> 2021 (or at the start of their Fall contract for faculty 9-month members). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To accommodate this expectation, the COE is planning for a staged return to occur starting on September 1<sup>st</sup>. Over the course of September, faculty and staff will begin the process of returning to pre-COVID levels of in-person
activity (meetings, office-hours, student-services, other duties) in the college, (a) in keeping with changes to public health guidance, and (b) in coordination with their supervisor.
<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]><b>Staff:</b> Over the course of summer, supervisors will meet with staff and all relevant team-members to discuss schedules, seating arrangments, and other coordination details as they determine what each program or team’s return-plan
will look like to meet the September 13<sup>th</sup> expectations. These arrangements can remain flexible and experimental through the Fall quarter.<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To assist in these efforts, all individuals who will need IT or facilities support as they return with equipment or furniture are asked to complete the following brief survey to indicate the timeframe they might need support
<a href="https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_d4iyVfiHoFqMQvQ">Return to Campus Planning Survey</a>. Individuals who do not complete the survey but who encounter an unanticipated need for IT or facilities support will need to go through typical IT channels
to request support and should expect delays.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although the college is encouraging this staged return, we understand the myriad of factors influencing each individual’s decision and timeline. The university has reminded us that faculty and staff may have exceptions to these return dates
related to flexible work arrangments, medical accommodations, or approved leave.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faculty and staff interested in returning to their offices over the summer may use the following survey:
