What are the current campus requirements to ensure in-person research can occur safely?
The most up-to-date requirements for all campus activity, including research, can be found at the Coronavirus Information Campus Requirements page. The page includes information about daily screening, PPE, etc.
Can I ask students/faculty/staff/employees if they have been vaccinated or require vaccinations prior to participation on my research project?
No. Asking an individual about their health status, while not a HIPAA violation, may encroach on their privacy rights and possibly place an unintentional power dynamic on the faculty/student/employee relationship. Students participating in research, and accessing campus facilities, will be asked to complete the daily symptom screener.
Faculty are strongly encouraged to confirm that a student is certified to access campus via the student’s Campus Pass daily as they enter the laboratory or research space. More information on the Campus Pass can be found here.
