FACULTY

Faculty who are not fully compliant with the mandate on Jan. 4 must meet with their unit executive or designee within 48 hours to discuss their intent to be fully compliant. Further administrative actions will be discussed individually during the meeting, and will include expectations for progress towards compliance, potential for unpaid administrative leave and other disciplinary steps up to, and potentially including, termination.

STAFF

Staff are expected to be fully compliant with the final dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by Jan. 4 or have an approved accommodation. Staff who are in progress with receiving vaccine doses but have not received their final dose by Jan. 4 will be placed in the weekly testing protocol until they are fully vaccinated or have an approved accommodation.

In addition, staff will meet with their supervisor and/or designated Human Resources representative to discuss intent to comply, accommodation request status, potential for unpaid administrative leave status, and other disciplinary steps up to, and potentially including, termination. Staff will also be permitted to voluntarily resign, or if eligible, retire before facing involuntary termination of employment. Appropriate next steps and probable disciplinary actions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

TECHNICAL SERVICE EMPLOYEES

Starting on Jan. 4, the University will initiate the enforcement process for tech service employees who have not submitted either proof of vaccination or a request for accommodation. The enforcement process will start with a brief, five-workday period of education, including providing noncompliant employees with information regarding the benefits of vaccination and ways to obtain the vaccine.

After the five-workday period, tech service employees will then have one calendar week to demonstrate progress toward becoming fully vaccinated or they will be placed on a two-week unpaid suspension. Continued noncompliance following the suspension will result in termination of employment. Employees will be permitted to voluntarily resign, or if eligible, retire before facing involuntary termination of employment.

Tech service employees who have requested a medical/disability or religious accommodation will be permitted to continue working after Jan. 4 while awaiting a response from the University to their request, but will be required to follow safety protocols, including following mask protocols and weekly COVID-19 testing. If their accommodation request is denied, employees will be subject to the enforcement process described above.
