<span style="color:black"> As we plan for activities later this year, we need to consider the safety of individuals in high-risk groups. This includes people who live with or care for people in high-risk groups. This will be important for planning our
teaching and considering our other working duties and schedules.

part of a high-risk group. For the moment, we are only asking individuals (GTAs, Lecturers, faculty, staff) who are expected to be involved with teaching during the next academic year. We will request this from other individuals at a later date, but you
should be thinking about it. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
