[VPAAEtal] SB17 Informational Meetings with Ethics & Compliance

[Academic Affairs]

Colleagues,

I suspect that many of you are busy finalizing your course syllabi for the upcoming semester.  As you review texts required, reading assignments, course topics, and the like, I anticipate that many of you may find yourself with questions-that is, asking what, if anything, needs to change, given the current environment. Although academic course instruction and scholarly research or creative work is not applicable as identified by  SB 17<https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/billtext/pdf/SB00017F.pdf> , you may be interested in, or wondering about, the possibility of running things by someone within the institution; a type of "double checking" about anything that has come to your attention or just seeking some reassurance.

I am pleased to share that Katelyn Severance, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer here at TAMUC, has agreed to host several zoom meetings over the next two weeks as an additional resource for faculty and staff.  Each of the meetings listed below will include a 15 minute overview of recommendations and reminders for the classroom, followed by 45 minutes for questions.  These zoom meetings are offered only as a support for you, a way to ensure that if needed, you have an opportunity to check in, ask questions, listen to what your colleagues are curious about, and so on.  Please feel free to join Katelyn in the zoom meeting at any time, and stay as long as you like.
