Text Any textual data included in the document More than two months ago, we launched the pilot phase of a routine COVID-19 testing program, starting with all graduate students, faculty and staff designated as essential on-site and essential-special for conducting work on campus. Today, we write to share key takeaways from the pilot, which have helped inform our approach for the academic year on everything from the testing process and contact tracing protocols to how we will keep the community informed of confirmed cases and COVID-19 prevalence on campus. As Brown’s Plan for a Healthy and Safe 2020-21 outlines in detail, COVID-19 testing and contact tracing will be among the most essential elements of Brown’s plans to mitigate the impact of coronavirus. We know that like any campus or community, we can expect to see diagnosed cases at Brown until a vaccine is made widely available — this fact is the very basis for many of the specific measures outlined in our academic year plan. Over the course of our summer pilot, which began in June, we received results for nearly 3,100 routine tests. Based on those reports — as well as the results of tests conducted independently away from campus and self-reported to the University by students or employees — we are aware of less than five positive test results in total. As is customary when cases number between one and five, we are sharing this range to protect confidentiality. We have taken action in response to the positive case(s) in line with our contact tracing protocols, COVID-19 Campus Safety Policy, isolation and quarantine procedures, and other measures outlined in our 2020-21 plan. The experiences and feedback of those tested in the summer pilot have informed the development of our routine testing and tracing protocols, which began this week as we prepare for the coming academic year. Together with Verily, our third-party COVID-19 testing vendor, we have worked hard to improve the test scheduling process, speed up turnaround times for test results, strengthen the process for delivering test results to participants, and refine the approach to the web-based screening survey through which participants report symptoms. Throughout the pilot, we have continuously evaluated tests that are accurate and reliable and labs that can provide fast turnaround of test results. This fall, the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, will process our tests. The Broad Institute has processed tests for many New England colleges and universities since late spring and has demonstrated that it is able to return results in a timely manner. The Broad test is a self-administered (under supervision) anterior nasal swab, which is easier and significantly less uncomfortable than the mid-turbinate nasal swab the University used for most of its summer pilot. CDC guidance indicates that the two testing techniques are comparable in accuracy. We will continue to monitor developments in testing technology and assess new options as they become available. Moving forward, routine testing of all members of the Brown community who plan to work and study on campus, as well as undergraduate students who live on campus or in Providence during the academic year, will be mandatory. By the end of this week, all community members subject to mandatory testing will have received an email prompting them to schedule an initial baseline test in late August, early September or the point at which they come to campus. Those who undergo testing will also be required to respond to regular symptom tracking surveys. Routine testing for the fall term will happen at two locations, with the majority of asymptomatic tests taking place at the Olney-Margolies Athletic Center (OMAC) and a secondary site at One Davol Square. Adhering to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention best practices for patient safety in indoor testing locations, the OMAC site is a very large venue with ample ventilation and space required for social distancing. Additionally, the space allows for collection areas to be physically separated and partitioned for both privacy and distance. While we do not have plans to publicly report individual positive tests, we are committed to keeping the community informed of confirmed cases and COVID-19 prevalence on campus. We plan to report aggregate data at regular intervals over the course of the academic year via a public dashboard on the Healthy Brown website. We deeply appreciate the assistance and cooperation of everyone who participated in the summer testing pilot, and we hope that you and your loved ones remain healthy and safe this fall.

Email Body The main body of the email, including all replied and forwarded text and headers Dear Members of the Brown Community, Higher education communities across the United States, and the international students they serve, experienced great relief and an important victory today when it was announced that the federal government would rescind the July 6 Student Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement policy directive calling for visa restrictions for international students taking online-only courses at U.S. colleges and universities this fall. As a result, the U.S. Government will return to the previous guidance issued on March 9 and March 13, 2020. This reversal in policy is an important recognition of the extraordinary contributions that international students and scholars make to our university communities. From the moment the original policy directive was issued, Brown faculty, students and staff wrote expressing deep concern, seeking to ensure that we would do all that we could to support our international students. While we are confident that our current plans for AY 2020-21 -- which call for a hybrid model with both online and numerous in-person courses or sections/recitations -- would have provided the basis for international students enrolled at Brown to secure a visa and not be blocked by this order, the policy would have affected many thousands of students enrolled at institutions across country. We are grateful to MIT and Harvard and the more than 200 institutions across the United States, including Brown, who opposed the Department of Homeland Security’s July 6 & 7 SEVP guidance. Many offices across the University, including the Offices of Global Engagement, General Counsel, and Community and Government Relations, pay careful ongoing attention to these matters. We will continue to advocate for policies and actions that support the academic success and well-being of members of the international community. Sincerely, Richard M.

Email Body The main body of the email, including all replied and forwarded text and headers Dear , We need your input! We’re writing as a follow up to President Paxson’s May 6 letter to request your feedback and preferences on different scenarios that the University is exploring for the 2020-21 academic year. This survey presents three possible scenarios for the coming school year that have been designed to ensure that we can safeguard the health of our community while maintaining Brown’s high standards of teaching and learning. Each of the scenarios involves transitioning a large number of courses to online/remote/hybrid instruction, and we are investing significant time and resources to ensure that these courses are delivered in the highest quality possible. The likelihood of each scenario depends on how the COVID-19 pandemic evolves in the coming months, and the University’s ability to bring students safely to campus. We value your input on each of these scenarios and, understanding the uncertainty that remains, will use the results from this to inform our planning. Please know that regardless of the scenario that we end up choosing for next year, the University is committed to supporting your success during these challenging times. Thank you for participating in this survey. Your input is essential for helping the University plan for an academic year that best meets the interests of Brown students.

We know that like any campus or community, we can expect to see diagnosed cases at Brown until a vaccine is made widely available — this fact is the very basis for many of the specific measures outlined in our academic year plan. As we continue to test graduate students, faculty and staff this week, we have to date received results for nearly 1,200 routine tests. Based on those reports — as well as the results of tests conducted independently away from campus and self-reported to the University by students or employees — we are aware of fewer than five positive test results in total. As is customary when cases number between one and five, we are sharing this range to protect confidentiality. We have taken action in response to the positive case(s) in line with our contract tracing protocols, COVID-19 Workplace Safety Policy, isolation and quarantine procedures, and other measures outlined in the Plan for a Healthy and Safe 2020-21. The experiences of those tested to date, the feedback that students and employees have provided, and what we have learned through the notification of the positive test case(s) is shaping our ongoing work to refine and improve our testing approach. Among the areas of focus, we are working to improve the test scheduling process, speed turnaround times for test results, strengthen the process for delivering test results to participants, and refine the approach to the web-based screening survey through which participants report symptoms. Everything we learn from this summer pilot is providing information and lessons that will inform our public health testing strategy for the academic year. Among the plans we continue to develop for 2020-21 is the best approach to keeping the Brown community informed about positive COVID-19 test results on campus (as a complement to the specific notifications that will be made through our contact tracing protocols to those with exposure risk). As we have shared previously, routine testing will be a critical tool in monitoring for community spread of coronavirus, identifying the proportion of asymptomatic positive cases and identifying the proportion of community members with potential immunity to the disease over time. While we do not have plans to publicly report individual positive tests, we are committed to keeping the community informed of prevalence on campus. With the fall term approaching, Brown is currently in the early stage of exploring mechanisms to present overall data on COVID-19 prevalence, which can be used to measure community spread and to shape and adjust plans throughout the academic year. In the coming weeks, we expect to share additional details on how we’ll report data at regular intervals over the course of the academic year. We will also keep the community informed as the pilot testing program progresses, and as researchers and other community members at Brown are approved to gradually resume activity on campus this summer. We deeply appreciate the assistance and cooperation of everyone who has participated in this initial stage of the summer testing pilot. And we hope that you are your loved ones remain healthy and safe. Sincerely, Richard M.

Title A name given to the resource Brown Daily Herald Description An account of the resource This collection consists of articles published by the Brown Daily Herald, the undergraduate daily student newspaper, in regards to COVID-19 at Brown. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Professor of Biology Kenneth Miller ’70 is no stranger to using technology as a tool for teaching. The end of the recent spring semester marked the completion of Miller’s 40th year at the University, but he remembers as early as the mid-1980s — “before the Internet was called the Internet” — using an old Macintosh computer in his lab and giving students a URL to access course material. Four decades later, as Miller prepares for the largely remote academic calendar ahead under the recently announced tri-semester model, he feels well-equipped for the transition to Zoom classes and virtual teaching. “Even before the switch in mid-March this year, I was regularly building an online presence for (BIOL 0200: The Foundation of Living Systems), video-recording all of my lectures, posting all of my slides, putting up all the handouts, posting copies of old exams to use as study guides,” he said. Though the transition will pose unique hurdles for each faculty member and the landscape of their discipline, some University faculty are cautiously optimistic about a safe return to campus as College Hill prepares to open its gates to students in a staggered, de-densified model. Weighing excitement to welcome students back to campus with the hope that their own health will be protected, five University faculty members told The Herald about their anticipations for the upcoming fall. Miller was struck by the unique formulation of hybrid learning proposed by Brown upon their initial unveiling of a potential tri-semester plan earlier this spring. He said the plan was “both interesting and creative,” as peer institutions across the country also grappled with how to bring back students safely and thoughtfully. As the University neared a final decision, Miller felt that the Faculty Executive Committee was a helpful resource in representing the wishes of the faculty to the administration. As a member of the FEC, Professor of Political Science and International and Public Affairs Ross Cheit said that he and other members met weekly with President Paxson P’19 and Provost Richard Locke P ’18. In these meetings, “we were assured, and I think absolutely have been given power of decision” in how faculty would conduct their courses. Miller felt that faculty’s foremost concern — the protection and prioritization of their health and safety — was ultimately honored in the University’s decision-making by allowing them to opt out of in-person teaching, even if their course enrollments will not exceed 20 students. Associate Professor of Sociology Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve said she appreciates that the “comfort level of faculty, and the comfort level of students, has been a centered priority” in the University’s decision. “I was happy with the announcement … because some students do need to be on campus to continue their education, and I think there are safe ways to do that,” she said. “I think that populating the campus to conform to the new safe standards is the priority. So I think what’s really wonderful is Brown is not trying to force an old system into a new reality.” Leslie Bostrom, professor of visual art and chair of the department, acknowledged that the administration has “worked very hard to make a safety plan for when everybody comes back,” she said. “And I do trust them, I think that (President Paxson) has done a great job, and (Provost Locke) has done a great job.” As a leader in her department, the task of protecting the health and interests of her faculty is in Bostrom’s hands. “How do you get the best quality education, but at the same time keep everybody safe?” Bostrom asked. “That’s the hard juggle.” Cheit speculates that if COVID-19 cases continue to climb at an untenable rate, the University could decide to go fully remote, as opposed to the current hybrid model. But given recent news from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement that international students holding F-1 visas will not be permitted to study in the United States if their course load is fully remote, the University may be more hesitant to shift classes to an entirely online format. Miller plans to teach his fall coursework remotely, he said, though he laments the loss of personal connection to students that is difficult to replicate through a computer screen, over Zoom. In place of his tradition of Friday lunches with students in the Ratty or V-Dub, Miller says he may have to conduct virtual ice-breakers with students. But “when we go entirely online, you’re never going to be able to form that personal bond in that exact same way,” he said. Cheit will also teach POLS 1050: Ethics and Public Policy, a usually large lecture class, remotely in the fall, a large lecture course that mostly attracts juniors and seniors. But like many other professors, he will have to reinvent the shape of the course for an online format. He acknowledged the inevitable complexity of a decision concerning the resumption of on-campus operations, noting that some disciplines are more adaptable to a virtual setting than others. With the announcement, Cheit is now concerned with the distribution of labor across the three semesters, which will vary by department. While emergency circumstances surrounding the sudden evacuation of students this spring entailed lower expectations for a smooth transition to remote learning, “people will expect more” for this fall now that faculty have a clearer picture of the trajectory of the academic calendar. While Cheit predicts that many faculty will be wary of teaching a summer semester, which may mean that they will have no break before the beginning of the fall semester of the 2021-22 academic calendar, Gonzalez Van Cleve volunteered to teach SOC 1116 Criminal Courts and the Law in an Era of Mass Incarceration in the summer with the hope that in-person teaching may be more feasible by that time. “I actually raised my hand to do that for the freshmen because I thought, first of all, I’ll be really excited to meet them, and they’ll be excited to be on campus,” she said. “And maybe this will be a new tradition, maybe this is something where Brown ends up having a vibrant summer session that most universities don’t have, and it’s born out of this national tragedy.” The “joy in learning,” Gonzalez Van Cleve said, “comes from human connection.” Bostrom said that many of her colleagues similarly volunteered for summer teaching, excited about the potential for teaching outdoor, socially distanced classes. For example, a course dedicated to drawing with watercolors is “perfect for teaching outdoors,” she said, and a sculpture installation course can utilize materials from nature to enhance the art. Bostrom and her colleagues are eager to welcome students back to a reconfigured List Arts Center, with acrylic barriers between staggered desks and smaller classes of masked students. Though she, like all other department chairs across campus, must adapt her discipline to the constraints of the pandemic, she is pleased that the tri-semester model will allow for on-campus instruction in any capacity. Michelle Bach-Coulibaly, a senior lecturer in theatre arts and performance studies, relies on movement and body language for her teaching that is lost over Zoom. Unlike faculty in other fields whose transition online requires lecturing virtually and uploading course material to Canvas, Bach-Coulibaly must reimagine her approach to teaching dance composition entirely to account for the loss of in-person interaction. “I’m reinventing my own universe here,” she said. Bach-Coulibaly has served as a first-year advisor for the past several years in the Curricular Advising Program. From that experience, she understands the importance of grounding connections and finding stability on campus, and wishes that first-years had been given priority in the tri-semester model as a group of students particularly vulnerable to the transition. “I saw how important it was to have that initial contact, not only with the physical spaces — to get them acclimated, to welcome them onto campus, to work with their CAP advisors, to really give them a solid sense of belonging,” she said. “I want the people who want to be there to be there, that’s it,” Bach-Coulibaly said. “We will create an environment that’s really conducive to deep learning, that’s all we can do, that’s what the job is.” In March, after students were abruptly sent home due to growing concerns about the pandemic, Gonzalez Van Cleve wrote a letter to her students preaching the importance of self-care and expressing her support during a difficult transition. On Twitter, her letter received over 11,000 likes and over 3,000 retweets. She hopes to reemphasize the same care for her students in the coming academic year, and “honor what people are going through,” she said. “The coronavirus didn’t disappear because we’re exhausted from staying inside,” Gonzalez Van Cleve said. “And I would say likewise, the issues facing students, as we see with international students right now, did not disappear because a few months have passed.” Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Online newspaper article Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This announcement follows a lawsuit by Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement decision. At least seven other lawsuits had been filed by states and other universities, including one by 17 states and the District of Columbia, in the days since Harvard and MIT first announced their lawsuit. The agreement today was reached five minutes into the hearing, according to The Harvard Crimson. Brown filed an amicus brief in support of Harvard and MIT on Sunday July 12, joining Cornell, Princeton and Penn among other institutions. University spokesperson Brian Clark cited the “tremendous negative impact the temporary rule would have on international students at Brown, and international students across the country,” for the University’s decision to file the brief, The Herald previously reported. Prior to its rescission, Christina Paxson P’19 called the guidance for the Student and Exchange Visitor Program “nothing short of cruel.” Provost Richard Locke P’18 wrote that the reversal of the ICE guidance represented an “important victory” and “great relief” for American universities in a community-wide email Tuesday night. The policy’s revocation “is an important recognition of the extraordinary contributions that the international students and scholars make to our universities,” he wrote. Locke also expressed that the University will continue to advocate on behalf of international students through the promotion of policies and actions that support the personal and academic success of members of the international community. This message of relief was echoed by University spokesperson Brian Clark in an email to The Herald. “Our hope is that for international students at Brown and at universities across the country, this offers some reassurance and enables them flexibility to move forward with academic year plans that balance their health, safety and academic pursuits to the greatest extent possible,” he wrote. ICE will return to the previous regulations enacted on March 13 allowing international students taking online courses to stay in the U.S. following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many universities shifted to remote learning.

Text Any textual data included in the document The University is currently “planning intensely” in order to be prepared to implement the three-semester calendar for the coming academic year in light of the coronavirus pandemic, regardless of whether these fall, spring or summer semesters are held in person or online, President Paxson P’19 said during a special faculty meeting Tuesday. James Morgan, professor of Cognitive, Linguistic and Psychological Sciences and chair of the Faculty Executive Committee, announced that the Faculty Executive Committee will hold a special meeting Wednesday to consider the motion to move to a three-semester calendar. Approval of this new calendar is separate from the decision about whether or not instruction is remote and would be, “in principle, only a change to the academic calendar for 2020-2021,” he added. “Proposing the three-semester academic calendar for approval is an enabling step that would, pending that approval, position the University to move forward quickly should the three-semester scenario be decided upon for 2020-21,” University Spokesperson Brian Clark wrote in an email to The Herald. But, he added, “There has been no final decision as of yet. All three scenarios remain options with a decision to come in the coming few weeks.” Paxson noted the distinction between the calendar decision and the in-person and online decision. “Even if we have to go remote in the fall, we mostly likely still would have to follow the three-semester model,” she explained, adding that “in some ways you can detach the semester model from the remote or in person piece.” Previously, the University had laid out three separate plans for the 2020-21 academic year: remote fall learning, a regular in-person fall semester, or a three-semester, in-person model, in which most students would come back to campus to attend two of the semesters to reduce the number of students on College Hill during each semester and prevent the spread of the virus. While other New England schools like Middlebury College and Boston College have announced their fall decisions, Brown has not yet finalized its plans but will do so by July 15. Paxson said that the University will attempt to accommodate in-person learning for first-year students’ first semester on campus. To fulfill this goal, first years would need to attend the spring and summer semesters in person if the fall semester is completely remote. “We really want the first-year students to have an in-person experience if it’s at all possible,” Paxson said. ”We want to bring them back in the spring if it’s safe to do so.” In addition to the question of whether the fall semester can be held in person, the University will continue to consider whether the spring and summer semesters may be held remotely or in-person, depending on the state of the pandemic and public health. Furthermore, faculty will decide whether their classes are offered in-person or remotely, Provost Richard Locke P’18 said. Faculty will not be required to teach in person if they do not want to. “We are committed not to bring people back to campus unless it’s safe to be on campus. We would not ask anyone to teach in person unless it was safe to do so,” Locke said. Paxson agreed with Locke and added that the option for classes to be offered in-person or online will remain dependent on the continuously evolving condition of public health. Results of re-openings in the Northeast and Rhode Island have made Paxson optimistic about returning to the University for in-person instruction, although she said she is “disheartened” by results seen in southern and western parts of the United States. Still, Paxson emphasized that the University will not reopen campus if it is not safe for students to return. “We are planning intensely for a three-semester (year and) de-densified fall. If it comes in August and it just is clear that it won’t be healthy and safe to do that, then we would retreat,” Paxson said. “It isn’t like some decision has been made and we are just moving forward regardless of the health circumstances — we are paying careful attention.” During the meeting, Locke also provided updates regarding current planning for academic continuity in case of a three-semester calendar or remote learning. Following the May 21 announcement that departments, centers, institutes and concentrations needed to submit an academic plan for the three-semester model, Locke reported that 61 out of the 62 academic clusters have already submitted their plans. Thirty-three of the submitted plans have been approved by the University thus far. Locke also discussed further what an in-person instruction model could look like while trying to prevent the spread of COVID-19. If in-person learning takes place, classes and sections will be restricted to 20 students or fewer. Departments with strict sequence requirements — like languages and sciences — will need to adjust their requirements to the new calendar. Paxson stated that the University plans to host an open discussion on July 15, as well as another faculty meeting and forum on an as-yet unspecified date to continue discussing plans for the coming academic year.

In fact, faculty will not be required to teach in person. The Herald regrets the error.

As you know, the University has initiated a gradual and controlled resumption of some on-campus activities this summer in accordance with the operations permitted under Governor Gina Raimondo’s multi-phase Reopening Rhode Island plan, and with the understanding that any plan is subject to change depending on the course of the pandemic. As we have shared previously, the University is committed to the guiding principle of protecting the health of our students and employees this summer to the best extent practicable and in planning for the fall semester and beyond. Critical to maintaining a healthy and safe community during the pandemic is identifying and stopping the spread of novel coronavirus at the earliest possible stage. Routine testing — which tests individuals regardless of symptoms to monitor for the virus’s spread — will be essential to our success. To do this most effectively, the University has contracted with Verily, a life sciences and health care company, to perform routine testing starting with a pilot this summer that will test all essential on-site and essential-special graduate students, faculty and staff. The pilot will test individuals at intervals with the goals of: -- determining the incidence of COVID-19 in the population returning to campus for work; -- identifying the rate of those who test positive, even without symptoms (asymptomatic positives); -- and estimating a proportion who may test positive over time. We anticipate that what we learn from this summer pilot will provide essential information that helps to inform our public health testing strategy for the coming academic year. The pilot will begin in phases and the first cohort of employees will be contacted directly this week. Each day, employees in the pilot will conduct a web-based screening survey to record health conditions. After completing the survey, they will receive guidance to report to work on campus or instructions to remain at home and contact University Human Resources at 401-441-4765 or leave_admin@brown.edu; and a prompt to register for testing when needed. All tests will take place at the University’s testing site located at 205 Meeting Street. Employees will be asked to perform a self-administered nasal swab — the most reliable, accurate and non-invasive method available currently — and clinical personnel will guide participants as needed from a safe distance. All expenses related to testing will be covered by the University. The summer pilot will be mandatory for all essential on-site and essential-special graduate students, faculty and staff. It will include initial baseline testing of all employees and then follow-up routine random sampling. After the pilot is initiated with employees in the first cohort, further instructions on how to enroll in the program will be forthcoming to additional employees approved to resume work on campus. Brown has updated the University’s COVID-19 Workplace Safety Policy to outline the parameters for mandatory COVID-19 testing: https://www.brown.edu/about/administration/policies/sites/brown.edu.about.administration.policies/files/policy/appendices/1.-POL01.90.01-COVID-19-Workplace-Safety-Pol-APPROVED-Jun_13_20.pdf The University remains committed to protecting the privacy of individuals in accordance with applicable law. Should an employee test positive for the virus that causes COVID-19, a physician associated with Verily will contact them, and University Human Resources at Brown will be notified. The results will also be reported to local public health authorities as required by law to help track community spread. And the web-based tool used by all participants will provide specific instructions to help determine the next steps regarding care and return to work on campus. You can find more information about the testing pilot in the following FAQ, and additional questions may be directed to universityhr@brown.edu: https://covid.brown.edu/workforce/covid-19-routine-testing-pilot We are focused on developing sound, evidence-based public health plans for the gradual resumption of activities, and we are committed to using the findings of this testing pilot to refine approaches, as needed, for the coming year. Thank you again for your continued commitment to Brown and to the health and safety of our community as we continue to navigate this global pandemic together. Sincerely, Richard M.

Text Any textual data included in the document As you know, the University is currently planning for three possible 2020-21 academic year scenarios as we contend with the COVID-19 pandemic, each of which would enable us to safeguard the health of the community while maintaining Brown’s high standards of teaching and learning. After we outlined these scenarios last month, we invited each of you to share input by completing a survey about the choices you would most likely make under each of the scenarios under consideration. The goal was to gather information to guide and refine Brown’s plans for the fall in conjunction with a wide variety of additional factors, data points and considerations — ranging from input from other stakeholders, to the evolution of the pandemic itself, to further developments in COVID-19 testing, tracing and treatment. I am pleased to report that our response rate was high: 84% of returning students completed the survey, and 70% of incoming first-year students shared responses. And I write today to share key findings and noteworthy data points from the survey results, which are available here: https://www.brown.edu/sites/g/files/dprerj316/files/undergrad_fall_survey_findings.pdf Student preferences will serve as one factor in the complex effort to develop solutions that protect the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and the extended community, while maximizing teaching, learning and research operations to the greatest extent possible. Our planning for the next academic year remains active and underway, and Brown expects to make a decision on fall semester operations by July 15. I appreciate the participation of everyone who offered responses and look forward to the weeks ahead when the University reaches a decision on the 2020-21 academic year. Sincerely, Richard M.

Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Most University undergraduate students expressed strong support for randomized COVID-19 testing and technology-enabled contact tracing in any on-campus scenarios for the upcoming academic year, according to the results of the Undergraduate Student Preferences Survey on 2020-21 Academic Year Scenarios. Sent to all returning undergraduate students May 17, the survey garnered an 84 percent response rate, accruing 4,475 responses. Another 1,234 incoming first-year students — 70 percent — also gave responses. The survey was developed to “gather information to guide and refine Brown’s plans for the fall in conjunction with a wide variety of additional factors, data points and considerations,” Provost Richard Locke P’18 wrote in a June 18 Today@Brown announcement regarding the key findings from the survey. The University is still considering three options for the 2020-21 academic year: a tri-semester model in which students would enroll in two semesters out of the three offered; an entirely remote fall with a decision about the spring semester to be made during the fall; or a normal academic calendar allowing all students to return to campus — an “optimistic scenario that is largely dependent on broader progress in testing and treatment,” Locke wrote. “Student preferences will serve as one factor in the complex effort to develop solutions that protect the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and the extended community, while maximizing teaching, learning and research operations to the greatest extent possible,” he wrote. President Christina Paxson P’19 has committed to sharing an official decision on the University’s plans for the fall by July 15, The Herald previously reported. For scenarios including an on-campus component, the University plans to conduct “surveillance testing” of COVID-19 to monitor any changes in the rate of infection on campus, according to the key findings report. This would include testing of several hundred randomly selected students each week. On tracking the spread of the virus, Paxson previously indicated that the University would also pursue testing of all students and employees upon their return to campus and testing for all symptomatic students and employees throughout the year. A full 88 percent of student survey respondents said that they believe random testing is “extremely” or “very important,” with just 10 percent believing random testing is “somewhat important” and only two percent saying it is “not important.” Nearly all respondents — 95 percent — said they would be willing to be tested if asked. Most students also expressed support for “technology-enabled contact tracing,” which would require the installation of a mobile app that would alert students if they had been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19 and track those with whom students have been in contact in case they test positive. Over three quarters — 76 percent — of students said that it is “extremely” or “very” important to “make this technology available to all students, faculty and staff,” and 78 percent of students said they would be willing to install contact tracing technology on their mobile devices. Beginning this summer, the University has contracted with life sciences and health care company Verily to “test all essential on-site and essential-special graduate students, faculty and staff” in a routine testing pilot program, Locke and Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Barbara Chernow ’79 wrote in a June 14 Today@Brown announcement. “We anticipate that what we learn from this summer pilot will provide essential information that helps to inform our public health testing strategy for the coming academic year,” they wrote.
