However, every faculty member may choose an option of holding face-to-face office hours by scheduling them as individual meeting appointments. If a faculty is meeting with a group of students, then this faculty member should make sure that this meeting is being held in venues that allow social distancing of six feet per person. If this degree of social distancing cannot be achieved – regardless of the venue in which the meeting is being hosted - then the meeting should be canceled or rescheduled, or conducted in a virtual mode.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Eugene</div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:small">Eugene A.
