[Uosenate] Welcome back - Mtg Schedule and a few details

[Autumn Shafer]

Dear Senators Gildea and Tichenor,

Will there be any opportunity to join remotely? As a mom of two children too young to be vaccinated, I am willing to accept the risk of going back to in-person classes, but I would like to balance that by mitigating other exposures. We know we can hold effective and efficient Senate meetings remotely, since we did this all last year, is there a reason to mandate that these meetings be fully in-person with no remote option? At least I'm hoping you will consider options until children can be vaccinated and/or until community spread is substantially lower. Thanks for your consideration.

Cheers,

Dear Senators,

Welcome to the 2021-2020 academic year!

At this time we are planning to resume in-person meetings and have secured our regular location in the EMU Crater Lake rooms for all but one of our scheduled meetings.

The meeting schedule and location can be found here:

https://senate.uoregon.edu/senate-meetings/2021-2022

Agendas and related materials are posted about a week in advance of each meeting, which are held Wednesday afternoons from 3:00 - 5:00 P.M. We are holding an Orientation meeting on September 29, 2021 and are presently hammering out final details.

We ask that you take the time to skim through the UO Constitution and Senate Bylaws to familiarize yourself with our operating procedures. Those documents can be found HERE<https://senate.uoregon.edu/about>. If you think you will be absent for a meeting, please email and let me know as far in advance as possible. There is a provision in the bylaws that encourages you to find a substitute from your constituent group to fill in on your behalf.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Betina
