MEMORANDUM<\/strong><\/p>\n
TO:<\/strong> NC State Faculty<\/p>\n
FROM:<\/strong>\u00a0 Warwick Arden, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost<\/p>\n
SUBJECT:<\/strong> Designation of Faculty, Graduate Teaching Assistants and Graduate Research Assistants\u00a0 with Mandatory On-site Status for COVID-19<\/p>\n
DATE:<\/strong>\u00a0 July 31, 2020<\/p>\n
Based on the State of North Carolina and UNC System COVID-19 reporting requirements, NC State uses a mandatory on-site designation to apply to faculty, staff and select students who may be expected to work at least some portion of their time on-site. Some faculty have already been designated as mandatory on-site so they can come on-site to use their office or research space. Other faculty have been advised to stay away from campus until they are designated in this way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The existing administrative process related to designating employees as mandatory on-site has been important for tracking and reporting activities on campus. As the fall semester approaches, we don\u2019t want this process to remain a barrier to you working on campus as needed. To make things easier, University Human Resources is working with the Office of Information Technology to designate all NC State faculty, including adjuncts, in the following categories as mandatory on-site:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
This batch approach to designating faculty as mandatory on-site will eliminate the need for you to work with your department head or departmental\/college HR representatives to get your designation changed. Your mandatory on-site designation will be effective immediately and will continue until normal university operations are restored. As a result of this designation:<\/span><\/p>\n
No action is required from you <\/b>to effect your change in designation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Your department head, associate dean for academic affairs, department\/college HR liaisons and deans have received a similar memo to this one, explaining the designation process and covering the information shared here. Since facility access is specific to each department, please communicate with your department head or HR liaisons about any key or card key access restrictions or expectations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Teaching assistants and research assistants will also be designated as mandatory on-site in the same way. The Graduate School will be following up separately with department heads and directors of graduate programs regarding this change. However it is very important to note that research assistants will still have to go through the research restart process filed by their research supervisors and meet density, scheduling, PPE and <\/span>Phase III criteria<\/span><\/a> to be permitted in research spaces. Postdoctoral scholars and staff must still be individually designated by their department or college as mandatory on-site before they can return to work on campus or at another university site.<\/span><\/p>\n

To make coming on-site (NC State campus or other university facilities) easier, University Human Resources is working with the Office of Information Technology to designate all NC State faculty, including adjuncts, in the following categories as mandatory on-site: tenured faculty, tenure track faculty, professional track professorially-ranked faculty, and lecturers and senior lecturers.
