Fall 2020 Return-to-Campus #6 - Enforcement of Health & Safety Plan
Monday, Aug 17, 2020
The health and safety of the FAU community is the top priority as we prepare for the fall semester. It is everyone’s individual responsibility to

and follow university guidelines contained in the Fall 2020 Re-Opening Plan (

) and the Health and Safety Plan (

).
The Guidance on Enforcement of FAU’s COVID-19 Safety Plan document is meant to provide a framework of enforcement mechanisms for students, faculty and staff. Please review the plan in its entirety. Compliance is a binding responsibility of every person and will be enforced consistent with existing FAU policies, including the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
FAU’s eventual return to traditional operations is dependent on these COVID-19-related guidelines, as well as those who notice non-compliance notifying appropriate officials when concerns arise. Individuals not complying with guidelines are subject to disciplinary actions. For students, potential sanctions could range from a conduct warning up to a suspension or expulsion from the University. For employees, sanctions could range from counseling or verbal warning up to written warnings and termination.
Examples of non-compliance include, but are not limited to: failure to wear a face covering; failure to physically distance from others; failure by a supervisor to enforce health and safety requirements; employees who exhibit signs of illness at work and refuse to return home; and employees failing to report to work when requested.
Additional information for faculty and professional staff is available in the Employee Return-to-the-Workplace Guide .
Remember to visit the dedicated COVID-19 website as it is the best source of FAU-specific information. The Guidance and Services page features an “A-Z” listing of items from around the university. New information is added to the pages as we confirm changes in our operations.
General questions related to the COVID-19 situation should be directed to FAUCOVID19@fau.edu . All feedback will be shared with applicable departments across the FAU campuses to ensure adjustments, as necessary.
