We appreciate the time and effort that you have put forth in creating your campus reopening plans. While not comprehensive, the list that follows comprises many of the suggestions we heard during the hearing: • Taking temperatures of all persons entering campus buildings, residential and academic • Increased testing for faculty, staff and all students, including at the Community Colleges • Pooling testing to reduce costs (UConn model) • Increased options for faculty and staff to work and teach virtually without the need to share private medical information • Increased flexibility in how professors teach their classes • Increased flexibility in teaching platforms and use of technology • Increased IT support for virtual learning platforms We respectfully request that you consider implementing these suggestions to help keep students, faculty and staff safe after reopening our public college campuses. To assist with the implementation of these recommendations, we request that you seek additional CARES Act funding through the Governor's office. We look forward to hearing from you with implementation plans. If you choose not to implement any of these ideas, we would appreciate hearing the rationale for your decision.

  • Journal of the Senate 01/09/2019
    JOURNAL OF THE SENATE Wednesday, January 9, 2019 On Wednesday after the first Monday of January, A. D., 2019 the date by the Constitution of the State of Connecticut for the meeting of the General Assembly, the Senate convened in the Senate Chamber in the Capitol in Hartford at 10:08 a.m. The Senate was called to order by the Secretary of State, Denise Merrill. The prayer was offered by the Deputy Chaplain, Rabbi Philip Lazowski of Bloomfield, Connecticut. The following is the prayer: Proverbs 15:22, “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisors, they succeed.” Let us pray: Sovereign of the universe, grant me the capacity to welcome and bless the newly elected Lieutenant Governor, Susan Bysiewicz, the newly-elected Senators and the returning Senators, both Democrat and Republican. Grant them wisdom, courage and integrity. Guide them to work together and help them to draw upon the noblest impulses of the heart, that we may be worthy of the American dream, to promote prosperity and goodness in our State and across our great Nation. As we pray for blessing in the New Year, I beseech thee, O God, please give the Senators the insight and fortitude to protect us from the many dangers that confront this State and the United States of America. Teach them to serve with humility and commitment to seek the best in each other, in common bonds of true humanity and civic duty. May this country continue to be a beacon of Democracy and optimism to the entire world. As we pray for blessings in the New Year, may Your blessing be upon all these public servants assembled here today.
