Davenport University COVID-19 Campus Plan Update and Safety Measures

Davenport University COVID-19 Campus Plan Update: April 22, 2021 1

Welcome Back! The primary goals for Davenport University s response to the COVID-19 pandemic include: 1. The safety of our faculty, staff and students and for the public with whom we interact 2. Support emotional well being with flexibility, adequate notice and supportive resources for our community 3. Enable business continuity using a phased approach to return our campus locations to our new normal. 4. Ensure our students receive a quality education and achieve their career goals. Our knowledge and understanding of the COVID-19 virus continues to evolve. With this in mind our policies and plans will be regularly reviewed and updated as appropriate. 2

Key Strategies for Student Return 1. Academic Adaptations Prioritization of classes to be offered in-seat vs other modalities including hybrid, online or RTV. Faculty preparation and support 2. Residential and Athletic Students COVID-19 screening Modified operational approaches (e.g.: smaller practices, fewer collaborative spaces, modified move- in and programming) Modified dining accessibility 3. Establish appropriate health and safety mitigation as cultural norms Daily health symptom monitoring Enforce protective measures as communicated 4. Implement consistent and flexible mitigation actions based on monitoring 3

Managing Your Safety on Campus Common areas and frequently touched surfaces are being cleaned daily by facilities, with updated protocol for regular, targeted and focused cleanings to address potential exposure concerns. Enhanced Cleaning Cleaning supplies are available, and faculty, staff and students are encouraged to clean and disinfect their own workspaces throughout each day. Shared spaces are expected to be cleaned before and after each use by the participant(s). Fresh air turnover in all of our buildings has been increased over industry standards to circulation and reduce potential transmission through aerosol particles. Work and Instructional Spaces Workspace and classroom layouts and seating arrangements are revised to allow for social distancing as required. Meeting rooms, break rooms and other communal areas have reduced seating and capacity limits. Barriers such as plexi-glass are in place where appropriate to block particle transfer and/or mitigate surface contamination. Safety Device Installation Entrances and other places where lines form have floor markings to support social distancing. 4

Managing Your Safety on Campus Anyone entering our buildings will self screen for COVID-19 symptoms and possible exposure. Those with symptoms will be asked to get a medical assessment or isolate themselves until symptoms have abated. We will evaluate, update, and communicate changes to screening procedures as appropriate. Health Screening Students living in resident halls and student athletes will be tested at the beginning of the semester, isolating those with positive results. Testing Student athletes may also need ongoing surveillance testing during their season as a requirement for participation, isolating those with positive results. Faculty, staff and students who present symptoms of COVID-19 will be advised to remain home and seek medical attention which may include testing. Faculty and Staff will use the Coronavirus Reporting Form to report confirmed positive COVID diagnosis or close contacts Positive Case Reporting Students & student employees will notify campus life via incident reports to report positive COVID diagnosis or close contacts DU will provide appropriate notification to potentially exposed individuals 5

Managing Your Safety on Campus The University conducts contact tracing of all positive COVID reports from faculty, staff and students and expects 100% cooperation with tracing efforts and requirements. Contact Tracing We partner with county health departments to track positive cases, potential exposures and close contacts on campus for further follow up. Face coverings/masks will be required when working in or traveling through all public or shared areas including classrooms. Additional PPE may be necessary for laboratory or clinical processes. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Personal Hygiene Hand sanitizer and appropriate cleaning supplies will be provided and required to be used when utilizing shared equipment such as computers, copy machines and classroom spaces. Posters are displayed with reminders on how to prevent the spread of germs and training is provided. The University discourages gathering in large groups and follows social distancing protocol designated by federal and/or state health guidelines. Social Distancing 6

Key Strategies for Faculty and Staff Return 1. Incrementally bring faculty and staff back to work on campus, continuing to use remote work and/or rotating schedules where effective 2.

Monitor and institutionalize appropriate health and safety mitigation as cultural norms 4. Implement consistent and flexible mitigating actions based on monitoring The phases in the next slides will be used to help guide our incremental return to campus and provide a flexible approach if adjustments need to be made in either direction. 8
