[Pols-announce] items from discussion today, POLS

[Haider-Markel, Donald Patrick]

For info on syllabus language about COVID, masks, distance learning, inclusion, etc. can be found here: https://flexteaching.ku.edu/syllabus-language

Rachel suggested using woven.com come to allow students to see your open time and schedule appointments

My example syllabus language is:

Classroom safety

            To protect all of us, everyone must wear a mask in the classroom as required by the Protect KU Pledge<https://protect.ku.edu/community-standards-pledge> and by University policy. Violations of the mask policy in classrooms are treated as academic misconduct. If you come to class without a mask, I will ask you to put one on. If you do not put on a mask when asked, you will have to leave class. Violations will be reported, and consequences will follow, up to and including suspension from the course.

            Please use the CVKey app for self-screening to help determine if you should attend in-person class activities. If you choose not to use the app or do not have a compatible device, please use the paper health assessment form. The app and the paper form are available at cvkey.ku.edu<https://cvkey.ku.edu/>.

            You will be given an excused absence from in-person class activities (no doctor's note required) if you answer yes to any of the questions in the app or on the paper form. Symptoms and other guidance in the app and on the paper form may change based on new federal, state and local health recommendations and requirements.
It is important that you spend the necessary time working in this course to achieve the expected outcomes by the end of the term. If you face challenges to fully participating at any time during the semester, please let me know, and please contact me if you expect to miss class. I am available and ready to support your success. Additionally, if you need to report an extended illness or serious accident, please contact Student Support and Case Management at course-adapt at ku.edu<mailto:course-adapt at ku.edu> or 785-864-4060. A case manager will send email notifications to your instructor(s) on your behalf. When you are able, you will need to follow up with your professors to coordinate a temporary arrangement regarding missed instruction and coursework.
