Dear FAS Tenure-Track Faculty,
We recognize that the COVID-19 situation has brought challenges to your research, whether through the loss of childcare, the restrictions on library access, the displacement of your collaborators, or the suspension of your experimental work. The university has not yet determined how we will account for this disturbance at the time of your promotion, but do know that we expect to offer some sort of accommodation should this interruption continue for an extended period. We realize that this is a time of great uncertainty, and we want to assure you that this matter is very much on our minds.
Yours,
Tamar, Katie, Alan, and Jeff
