Fall 2020 Return to Campus Guide – Version 2

Dear Campus Community,

After hearing your feedback and working with the UA System and other sources to clarify our options, I am pleased to release the revised (version 2) UA Little Rock Fall 2020 Return to Campus Guide.

We have made significant changes to the options and flexibility for supervisors and employees. Note that we have eliminated the previous employee categories and will now focus primarily on essential job functions, unit functionality, and space limits in making decisions about who needs to be on campus when. We have modified the phases of return to reflect this change. We have also added a provision that will make it possible to have a temporary work-at-home assignment, although this will not necessarily be the default remedy for all who seek this accommodation.

I know that these changes will not satisfy all. Many are concerned about any level of reopening for fall and in the current context, that concern is understandable. However, I will reiterate that until further notice, we must proceed with the assumption that we will open the campus for fall semester. I hope that you will find that the new guidelines give us more flexibility to do this in the safest manner possible.

Sincerely,

Christina S. Drale
Chancellor
