KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS
DATE: August 5, 2020
SUBJECT: Fall 2020 Campus Reopening Update
FROM: ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
ACTION ITEM: NO
BACKGROUND: On March 3, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. Since that time Kentucky State University has managed campus operations using a hybrid of in-person essential activities and telecommuting. All courses were moved on-line for the conclusion of the academic session and residence halls were vacated. The campus continues to monitor the landscape regarding Fall 2020 and beyond.
SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES: Kentucky State University will operate with:
- Normal Start Date – Residential students will populate the campus in accordance to public health guidelines and recommendations for social distancing, temparture/wellness checks and stockpiling of personal protective equipment.
- Earlier End Date – On-campus instruction will end on November 20th. No classes will be held November 23rd – November 27th. Classes will resume virtually on November 30th and will be held via remote instruction only.
- Virtual with Residency – Students will return in residence and pursue coursework virtually. This will allow campus auxiliaries and activities to continue while limiting large clusters in compact classrooms.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS:
Goal 1: Enhance Student Enrollment, Improve Student Life and Engagement, and Improve Student Advising and Career Development.
Goal 2: Achieve Academic Excellence Across all Programs and Colleges, Increase Student General Education Skills, Degree Persistence, Career Readiness and Graduation Rates.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS
DATE: August 5, 2020
SUBJECT: Fall 2020 Curricular Delivery Plan
FROM: ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
ACTION ITEM: NO
BACKGROUND: The persistence of COVID-19 has forced all institutions of higher learning to be flexible and responsive to the health needs of their entire campus communities. Kentucky State University has developed three approaches to instructional delivery for the Fall 2020, and beyond, if needed, that will enable faculty and students to engage in educational activities safely with an assurance of quality in teaching and learning. The University’s academic calendar has been modified to end instruction on November 20, 2020. On-campus instruction will end on November 20th. No classes will be held November 23rd – November 27th. Classes will resume virtually on November 30th and will be held via remote instruction only.
SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES: Faculty members have three options for offering courses in the Fall 2020. Courses are offered Monday - Thursday in 75 minute periods. These delivery options are as follows:
- Hybrid- Students will be divided into two smaller groups (half the class in person and half online synchronously) and may meet one day a week in a classroom large enough to accommodate them following CDC social distancing guidelines. These hybrid classes will meet synchronously with students in and out of class to optimize learning in “real time.” Recording of the classes will be available and housed in Blackboard.
- Online on-campus- Student who choose to live on-campus will complete their coursework online and have access to learning support and resources on campus to the extent permitted by CDC and internal operational guidances. The courses will be delivered synchronously with asynchronous access to recorded class presentations housed in Blackboard.
- Online off-campus- Students who chose to remain at home will complete their course work online and have access to learning support and resources that are offered online such as The Thorobred Learning Center and Blazer Library's online collection. This includes the expertise of the online librarian as well as use of the chat with a librarian feature. Those students will be encouraged to participate in the synchronous offering of their courses, but if time zone changes
KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS
are prohibitive, for example, they will be access course materials and activities asynchronously.
Three programs have requested modification for additional face-to-face instruction time. These include Nursing, Physical Education, and Music.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS:
Goal 1: Enhance Student Enrollment, Improve Student Life and Engagement, and Improve Student Advising and Career Development.
Goal 2: Achieve Academic Excellence Across all Programs and Colleges, Increase Student General Education Skills, Degree Persistence, Career Readiness and Graduation Rates.
Goal 3: Increase the University's Financial Strength and Operational Efficiency.
Goal 4: Enhance the Impact of External Relations and Development.
Goal 5: Obtain Maximum Institutional Effectiveness through the Implementation of a Continuous Quality Improvement Process framed within the seven Baldrige Performance Excellence in Education criteria.

Nursing Course Plan for the Fall 2020 Semester
Below you will find the information sent to Nursing faculty as we prepare for the Fall semester, recognizing that plans may change at any time.
- Employees will be required to complete health screening surveys online to self-report/disclose any symptoms they may be experiencing.
- As the return to work effort continues, the workforce of each division will remain reduced based on capacity and assessment determined by supervisors. It is expected that solutions might include alternating days, rotating weeks, staggered times and/or a combination of remote work/campus work.
- Faculty Meetings are to be held remotely.
- EduRisk Training will be required and will be available via email account. For mandatory training information, please email human.resources@kysu.edu if unable to access
- No student will be forced to come to class for in-person instruction that wish to remain at home and receive online instruction.
- If a student makes the choice that they wish to be a part of online instruction then we must honor their choice.
- All classes previously listed as online such as RN-BSN, DNP and ALH 205 will continue as planned online with no in-class instruction.
- An informal email requesting feedback as to what our students want in terms of in person or online.
- AAS- 28 students -14 responded and 12 of those want online
- BSN -35 students -24 responded and 19 of those want in class instruction
- Clinicals will continue normally with students placed in the hospital setting unless the affiliates make a change. Last Thursday - UK indicated that at this time they fully expect to be open for student clinical experiences in the hospital for fall. Norton's have reduced the number allowed by one-half (from ten to five)
- We must provide gloves and masks at the clinical site. Students will be required to attend to all clinical expectations.
- On campus clinical preparation will be competed in BW – based on size of room for social distancing and with use of PPE.
- All instructional areas have been measured and the number of students that can be in that area has been determined. For example: HH 130 the number is 10. Even if a class has less than 10 --for example NUR 440B (5 students) but one student wants online and the others want in class then we must plan to provide what they have requested. For classes with larger numbers -for example NUR 330B (30 Students) it will be necessary to provide a plan that allows those wishing in class to attend on a rotating basis. It was suggested as an example that Tuesday/Thursday classes could alternate but as you are aware that will not work for Nursing and it will be necessary to rotate on a weekly basis. (as our didactic courses meet only one a week).
- If necessary, all didactic classes can migrate to online. In regard to clinical, we have a program that can provide online simulation. Also, most clinical classes will be front loaded to complete by the middle of October.
- All instruction will end on November 20, 2020 followed by Thanksgiving-November 23-28, a week for virtual catchup if needed -November 30-December 4 and online finals the week of December 7 with graduation of some type on December 11. Grades due on December 14, 2020.
- It is important to determine how the University will be able to provide synchronous platform for faculty.
- We have ordered PPE for faculty and students.
- Faculty will provide in-class teaching as necessary. Otherwise, faculty will work from home.
- I hope the above provides sufficient information for our plans for Fall semester. If you have additional questions, please let me know.

| SUBJECT: | Fall 2020 Housing Update |
| FROM: | STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND CAMPUS LIFE |
| ACTION ITEM: | NO |
BACKGROUND: A meaningful residence life experience is critical for the personal, social, and academic development of our students. During the pandemic, changes have been made to provide a safe “home away from home.”
SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES: The Fall 2020 Residence Hall Move-In period will take place over an extended period to ensure a safe process and a positive experience for students.
- Upperclass students will move in from Tuesday, August 11-Thursday, August 13;
- First-year students and transfers will move in from Friday, August 14-Sunday, August 16.
Similar to the Move-Out process, students will sign up for a day and time slot and adhere to specific safety protocols. Student leaders will move in this Thursday, August 6 and Friday, August 7.
McCullin Hall will be taken offline this semester to serve as housing solely for quarantine (1st and 2nd floors) and isolation (3rd floor). Policies and protocols for health monitoring and meal delivery have been established.
It was determined that the university would only maintain a maximum of an 80% occupancy rate in the on-campus residence halls.
At present, there are 919 beds in residence halls – and therefore, with the 80% figure, a maximum 735 beds will be made available for students on campus. The new BREDS Choice initiative allows students to select to live in a double room with a roommate of their choosing (or allow Residence Life to assign one) or to live in a single room. Thus, we will be revising housing assignments based on these selections this week. In anticipation of the need for additional housing, rooms at the Capital Plaza Hotel have been secured; a Resident Hall Director and Resident Assistants will also be present in the hotel.
