Dear Tuskegee Community:
Tuskegee University continues to monitor the spread of the omicron variant and the latest data on the potential for serious disease and/or hospitalizations due to SARS COV2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Under the University’s current COVID-19 policy, we require that faculty and staff provide a negative PCR test result to begin their work activities this semester.
Staff members designated as essential are expected to report to work on Monday, January 3, 2022. All other staff and faculty members are expected to return to work on Tuesday, January 4th. We encourage staff who have not taken the PCR test, particularly employees in the essential groups listed below, to get tested on Sunday, January 2, 2022, from 1:15 to 5:00 p.m. in John A. Kenney Hall.
- Office of the President
- Office of the Provost
- Division of Student Affairs
- Division of Enrollment Management and Student Success
- Academic Deans
- Office of the Bursar
- Facilities
- Information Technology
- Campus Safety
Employees who have not provided a negative PCR test result by January 3rd or 4th (depending on essential employee designation) must still report to work and be tested on campus or at an off-campus facility as soon as schedules permit. On-campus testing will be available to faculty and staff through Student Health Services according to the following schedule:
Tuesday, January 4
1:15 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Wednesday, January 5
8:30 p.m. - 11:00 am and 1:15 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
All faculty and staff must provide a negative PCR test result by Wednesday, January 4, at 4:00 p.m. Employees who fail to provide a negative test result after the deadline will be subject to disciplinary action.
Limiting the spread of the virus and maintaining the health of our community is of paramount importance. Thank you in advance for joining us as we work to keep our community strong.
Sincerely,
Charlotte P. Morris, PhD
President
