COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES NEED TO ADOPT A GOLD STANDARD HEALTH STANDARDS!

\

The new reality for higher education is the adoption of a Gold Standard to deal with

the Coronavirus Pandemic. We need to establish a "clear, consistent, transparent " protocols for the higher education community. Colleges and Universities cannot open their campus unless they develop an implemented system on the campus.

 There cannot be any exceptions to opening the campus in a timely and uniform manner. We need to develop five levels of transparent standards for on-campus teaching. These five standards are an outline that can be adjusted for any college or university in the United States.

STANDARD ONE: CONTROL ALL INBOUND POSSIBLE INFECTIONS ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUS.

 This means that colleges and universities will become exclusive communities that have a restrictive membership. The campus security will monitor and adjust anyone coming in the campus environment that is a visitor, family member or non-students. Campus security will use restrictive ID'S and photographic recognition software to verify every one of the campuses Those individuals that cannot produce university ID will be escorted off-campus.

STANDARD TWO: THE MAJOR GROUPS OF STUDENTS AND PROFESSORS, ADMINISTRATION, STAFF, CUSTODIAL WORKERS, CAFETERIA WORKERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO HEALTH TESTING AND CONTACT TRACING.

 Essentially, The college community will be subject to health testing and determine the health status of each member of the community. Students will fill out questionnaire and register place of residence that is fed into a computer database.

 The faculty will register and have health testing for corona-virus. Students and faculty be subject to quarantine if the test is positive and creates a moral hazard for the community. The university community will be  issued restrictive ID and mask, gloves and

social distance for each building.

STANDARD THREE: THE UNIVERSITY SECURITY WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT OF UNIVERISITY ENFORCEMENT OF RESTRICTED ID.

The University campus security will be responsible for registering each Student and Faculty ID. Their database will be used for all members of the University community. The campus police will set up University signage and clear communications with the community. The campus police will use the same standards to regulate library, bookstore, gym, sports, clubs, and vendors coming on to the campus. 

STANDARD FOUR: THE UNIVERSITY CLASSROOM WILL BE THE FOCAL POINT OF THE UNIVERSITY TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE. COLLEGE PROFESSORS WILL HAVE ALL RIGHTS UNDER THE CODE OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND ACADEMIC INDEPENDENCE. 

The students who are enrolled in the class will be subject to all health standards determined by the new college policies. The Professor has total control of all academic materials and the use of academic freedom in the classroom. Each classroom will have a computerized check-in and will be verified by the computer database. There will be no administration limitation on the role of academic freedom in the classroom 

STANDARD FIVE: THE UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION WILL SET UP AN APPEAL BOARD FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY. 

The problems of injustice, inequality, and unfairness are part of the democratic search for equality in the university community. The university community has the right to appeal unfair decisions and seek redress for acts that are arbitrary and discriminatory. The President of the College will be head of the board. The appeal can be overturned by civil and criminal trial courts. No constitutional rights ae waived by the university community.

Essentially, the purpose is to open up the colleges and university for the students. We will be rebranding the experience based on health standards. The purpose is to use design teams to create a transparent university community. We want all students to learn and professors to teach on their professional levels of expertise. This is only designed as a series of guideposts to deal with the Corona-virus Pandemic.
