From the Carolina Alumni Review: In Survey, Faculty Express Concerns About Safety Amid Virus If a survey of faculty members’ anticipation of the fall semester could be summed up in one word, “uncertainty” would be a top candidate. The survey was designed, sent and returned by 1,224 faculty in less than three weeks, with a June 10 deadline for responding. Doubts about effective protection from the COVID-19 virus was one area discussed Monday during a review of the survey results in a meeting of the Faculty Executive Committee.
