The recent "Message
from the Provost: Update to face coverings order" email appears to state that SFU has decided to only "encourage mask use on our campuses at this time, and particularly
in spaces where we are in close proximity. " rather than keep a mandate till semester end. This is very different than what UBC is doing after the same BC announcement: "individual organizations can choose to continue to require mask wearing on their premises. As such, UBC will continue with the current approach, requiring masks to be worn in public indoor spaces on both campuses, until … April 30, 2022. " If you are concerned
about removing the mask mandate at SFU ( in classes, meetings ,events, defences, ...) during this semester and not waiting as UBC is to the end of the semester, please feel free
to discuss here OR as many of your students and collogues have done, feel free to sign this change.org petition, or other action
you see fit.
