Question Person(s) Responsible Notes and Next Steps
What steps have been taken over the last week in responding to and preparing for the impact of the COVID-19 situation? What other steps should the college and/or district consider from the perspective of ELT members and/or their constituents? Thomas Greene and Project Lead(s) Background
- late Wednesday evening college notified
- Solano patient brought to UCD

- SCC students exposed
- FAQ site developed
- District is taking their direction from State and Sacramento County Public Health agencies

Current Information
- media seems to be overblown
- it’s a virus just like any other, possibly a little more potent
- risk of dying is quite low; risk of contraction is low
- concern that student came back to campus after exposure
- possibility of student contracting who is working at UCD is very, very low; hospital protocols already in place
- basic hygiene and increased cleaning protocols
- fear turning to anxiety is more contagious than the virus
- faculty expressed frustration when college closed due to fire – DE classes not able to continue
- makes presumption that all DE students have access to technology
- how do we support students who have to miss classes – Academic Senate needs to have conversations
- flexibility will be important

- students will be informed that changes may occur in class
- consistent message to students across the district
- what if some instructors refuse to use DE systems placing students in danger of not graduating, not being able to transfer, etc.
- not all students can easily and equally transition to DE
- faculty need extra resources in order to be flexible
- there is currently a general sense of calm with understanding we’re in unchartered territory
- messages from faculty to faculty about being mindful and permissive should things turn worse
