Update on Re-Opening Plans Frank Kobayashi
- Will be standing agenda item
- Many topics already covered
- Opened campus with more on-ground classes

- Vaccine requirement next hurdle

- New message is to have more online classes offered
- Will vary from department to department
- Do you anticipate any further information coming out as we start to think about operating hours for next semester
- Hard deadline for class schedules due to publishing
- Approach would be similar to how hours were developed for the LRC this semester; look at the on-ground classes for spring courses and then use the range of times that classes are offered and use as a guideline to develop hours; as always, remain flexible
- Will relocated services for this semester remain in the LRC or will they be moved back to original locations
