  • June 16 - Phase 2 Resumption of Research: Lifting the suspension of travel for faculty

June 16 - Phase 2 Resumption of Research: Lifting the suspension of travel for faculty

TO: All Faculty
                               
FROM: Jan Love, Interim Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
 
DATE: June 16, 2020
 
RE: Phase 2 Resumption of Research: Lifting the suspension of travel for faculty
 
An essential element of our academic continuity planning entails supporting the resumption of research activities. For many faculty members, travel is essential for the conduct of their research. Lifting the present proscription on travel is important to support the overall return to research effort. Effective immediately, faculty are exempt from the current suspension of university-sponsored travel. Certain qualifications shall be in place as follows:
 
  1. During Phase 2 of Return to Campus for Research, faculty returning from domestic air travel will be required to contact the COVID-19 Hotline (404-712-6843) for screening for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 prior to returning to campus. Faculty will be required to follow any resulting restrictions, such as testing. 
  2. Currently, all countries are subject to a CDC level 3 travel advisory notice, which, while in force, requires all Emory travelers to file requests for international travel through the Executive Travel Safety Committee process. During Phases 2 and 3 of Return to Campus for Research, faculty returning from international travel will be required to contact the COVID-19 Hotline for screening for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and COVID-19 prior to returning to campus. Faculty will be required to follow any resulting restrictions. 
  3. In the event that any travel might result in the subsequent need to quarantine during times that would make it difficult for faculty to fully perform their duties, the deans shall have the authority to impose specific limitations.
  4. Lifting prohibitions on travel for other researchers, such as students and staff, will be contemplated for implementation in Phase 3.
