Below is message from the Provost: [1000008031.png] "Just a timely reminder that instructors should not unilaterally change the modality of their course(s). This is a practice we have been following since returning from the pandemic in Fall 2022. Changing modality after the semester has started - particularly if done by some instructors but not others (in other words, absent a College-wide directive) - is disruptive to students and their learning. We are monitoring campus activities closely, and should the President determine that activities need to move online that will be communicated immediately and widely to all in our community."
