Social distancing rules and Face coverings will be in effect at all times!!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics, Purchase College has adopted a Social Distancing and Face Covering policy. This policy highlights the protections that are required and implemented to ensure the health and safety of our campus community including students, faculty, staff, visitors, and contractors.

Persons Required to Follow the Policy

All people entering campus for any reason must follow the Policy for Social Distancing and Face Covering.This includes but is not limited to faculty, staff, students, volunteers, vendors, contractors, permitees, employees of related entities including but not limited to Purchase College Association, Research Foundation and all other visitors to the campus.

Policy Statement and Specifics

In the event of an outbreak of a highly infectious and/or deadly disease, including a pandemic, Purchase College may implement measures aimed at limiting the transmission of highly infectious disease through social distancing. Decisions regarding social distancing and other mitigation measures for an outbreak of influenza or other highly contagious diseases will be guided by such factors as the epidemiology of the disease, its response (if any) to anti-viral or other medications, the availability of effective medications and vaccines, specific at-risk groups, proximity of confirmed infection to a particular locale, and other factors.

The College President, in consultation with the Campus Emergency Response Team along with other related campus offices will determine the appropriate level of social distancing measures or other corrective measures to employ. Federal, state, and local governing authorities may provide guidance in making the determination, and those authorities are likely to follow guidelines and recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and Department of Health (DOH). In addition to social distancing, additional measures such as donning of personal protective equipment (PPE) may be implemented.

COVID-19 Pandemic Specific Policy

A. As recommended by the CDC and the New York State Guidelines, all people entering campus for any reason are required to:

Adhere to social distancing restrictions

Have a face covering available at all times and be considerate of the health concerns of community members.

While dining at campus eateries face coverings may be removed. While dining in public, persons are required to maintain a distance of six feet.Face coverings are also necessary when outdoors on campus when you are unable to maintain a social distance of more than six feet.

B. Both cloth and disposable face coverings are acceptable however, face coverings with exhalation valves are not permitted.

Cloth face coverings should:

fit snugly but comfortably against the face covering both nose and mouth

be secured with ties or ear loops

allow for breathing without restriction

be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape

C.

D. Failure to Comply & Campus Enforcement

Interactions with those failing to comply should be viewed as a public health educational opportunity, we are asking all members of our community to do their part.Persons not wearing a face covering or maintaining social distancing should be asked to comply.

Failure to comply may result in the following actions:

For students, it may result in a report being filed with the Office of Community Standards.Upon review, the student may receive notice of disciplinary action, which could result in their removal from campus (suspension or expulsion).Additionally, residential students may be removed from on-campus housing through the Office of Community Engagement Residence License Agreement.

For employees, it may result in referral to Human Resources for review and resolution in accordance with their collective bargaining agreement, including disciplinary action or up to and including termination. Employees are required to adhere to the above policy requirements in all instances except where doing so would inhibit or otherwise impair the employee's health. Employees who are unable to wear face coverings due to a medical or other health condition should must consult with the Access and Reasonable Accommodation Officer (Ricardo Espinales, Associate Director of Human Resources, (914) 251-6086 to discuss reasonable accommodations.

Class start times will be slightly staggered to reduce hallway occupancy.

Dining Areas: Maximum occupancy will be adjusted accordingly and carry out services will be provided only until restrictions have been modified.

Residence Halls: Common areas of residence halls where social distancing cannot be maintained will require the wearing of face coverings. Additional housing conditions may be imposed as part of the housing agreement, including but not limited to restrictions regarding visitors/guests to campus residences, Resident students should carefully read their Residence License Agreement and any addendums.Some common areas may be closed.

Reception Areas: Where physical barriers are not already in place, such as glass partitions, visual aids may be present to mark a 6 foot distance.

General Spaces: Maximum occupancy will be adjusted accordingly, and furniture will be limited to single seating only.

Restrooms: Occupancy may be modified to promote social distancing.Use of restrooms with multiple stalls should be limited based on room size to ensure at least six (6) feet of distance between individuals.Community members should wash hands for at least twenty (20) seconds after using restrooms facilities to reduce the potential transmission of the virus.Face mask will also be worn in restrooms.Hand sanitizer will be placed outside of the restrooms.

Recreational and Athletic Venues: Spaces will be evaluated to determine how students can safely exercise while maintaining social distancing. Athletic competitions (both recreational and NCAA Division III) will be determined in concert with NCAA, SUNYAC, and health officials.

Department and Unit Implementation

Supervisors are responsible for implementation of the following modifications to protect the health of their employees.

Offices (double occupancy or more): Space should be accessed to ensure that at least six feet of distance exists between the occupants while seated at their workstations. In instances where the space cannot be reconfigured to accommodate social distancing Facilities Management may be consulted.

Any modifications or physical barrier needs will be reviewed and approved provided by Facilities. A barrier cannot impend airflow, heating, cooling, fire safety systems or accessibility.

In instances where physical distancing is not possible, further corrective action such as schedule changes, remote work, telecommuting, should be considered.

Restrooms (single occupancy): No modifications are required for the single occupancy restrooms. However, the waiting area outside of a single occupancy restroom will be evaluated to determine if signage is required to promote social distancing.

Meeting Spaces: Conduct meetings remotely using existing campus technologies such as Collaborate, Zoom, in-house conference lines (can accommodate six participants), Intercall, the telephone, etc.

Break Rooms and Common Areas: Social distancing and cleaning is the responsibility of those utilizing the space.
