During the period of remote instruction, the university 1xbet online casino remain open with an emphasis on de-densifying our physical spaces. We strongly encourage units to consider their staffing plans to support de-densifying campus, providing virtual service and support for students, and staffing offices as necessary to successfully complete the semester.

Unit heads may adjust the hours their buildings are open by completing the 1xbet sports betting log-in to IT servi and sending to rooms@1xbet online casino edu. If multiple units are in a building, unit heads should coordinate and submit one request for a change to building hours.

4. Academic integrity in the classroom. Earlier this week, I shared a message about promoting academic integrity in the classroom. Please take a moment to review the information and resources available to support you and our students.
5. TEVALS. As a reminder, faculty are required to administer TEVALS. Faculty members have the option of including or excluding their fall 2020 student evaluations from any and all types of evaluations in the future. If faculty choose to exclude the evaluations, they shall not be subject to any negative consequences from the department head, evaluation committee, senior faculty, or dean. Additional details are available in my Kansas State 1xb.
6. Event and class limits. The 1xbet online casino remains in Phase 3 of the COVID recovery plan. Events, gatherings and classes are limited to no more than 50 people. Given the surge in COVID cases in Kansas and the onset of cold and flu season, the 1xbet online casino is adhering to the limit on gatherings in an effort to slow the spread of the virus.
The next few weeks 1xbet online casino important as we finish the fall semester. Thank you for your support for our students in the successful completion of their academic work and your care and support for each other.
