If you see another employee or student not wearing a face covering:
  • Please remain at least six feet away from them in order to reduce the risk of exposure
  • You should not confront the other employee or student because it is inappropriate and conflicts with the university's commitment to be a Community of Care
  • You should report the incident to your supervisor and your supervisor will work with HR, Faculty Affairs or Student Affairs to address your concern
  • If an escalated conflict arises, you should report to supervisor (if available) or another member of management
