Dean's Update
COVID-19 is spiking locally, nationally and globally, and thus all of us need to work together to protect our BU community as well as our patients, families and friends.

Currently we are seeing greater than 90% compliance with masking and physical distancing, but we must do better – especially when eating and after regular business hours. Please make sure that you observe COVID-19 safe behavior during breaks, at lunch, off hours and off campus.

Learn about compliance protocols, sanctions and more.

The Racial Equity Task Force Teams provided their first progress report. This continuous quality improvement (CQI) initiative will continue as long as additional issues are identified. Please report racist, sexist and other unprofessional conduct to BUSMDean@bu.edu, or to the BU Ombuds, or anonymously to EthicsPoint. Medical and graduate students, respectively, should also use ATM or the Appropriate Treatment in Graduate Education.

Staff requesting a spring 2021 Workplace Adjustment must complete and submit the Workplace Adjustment Request Form. The deadline is Nov. 30, 2020. PLEASE NOTE: If you filed a Fall 2020 Workplace Adjustment Request, you must still complete one for the spring 2021 semester.
