Dear Colleagues,

 

Let me start out by stating that the University is not closed. Some research is a part of the exclusions included in Governor Inslee’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy directive, and we are working on defining what that is. In accordance with this directive, we ask that the number of people working at their usual place of work be kept to a minimum.

The Provost has issued a notice prohibiting international travel, effective immediately.

This prohibition applies to all official UW travel, including international travel for UW research, whether or not the costs of the travel are being paid using University funds. International travel for UW research is prohibited, even if a researcher wishes to pay for it personally.
