DSP STATEMENT ON COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THIS QUARTER:
- Masks are very highly recommended for all students, faculty, staff, and other members of the Disability Studies community who attend in-person class meetings, office hours, and in-person events and activities. Continuing the use of masks will help to make our learning spaces and workplaces as accessible as possible and to protect everyone, especially at this time when there are fewer precautions on and off campus.
