Two meetings; scenarios for the autumn semester

Today I have attended two meetings, first a shortened, 1-hour faculty leadership group meeting, then a meeting in the faculty´s emergency preparedness group (the faculty leadership supplemented by office managers and a few other administrative staff). The latter meeting was about the autumn semester, with some preliminary scenario planning.

Faculty leadership meeting; picking up things at campus

Today I have attended the faculty leadership meeting at Faculty of social sciences, via Teams (video conference). The corona virus situation, which has caused the university to be closed for at least two weeks, was naturally the biggest topic of discussion, with a lot of things to reorganize these days.

At the end of the work day, I went to the University of Stavanger´s Ullandhaug campus to pick up some things for use at my home office (we were allowed to do this yesterday or today).

Corona measures at University of Stavanger; meeting

This morning I attended an ad hoc-meeting in the faculty leadership group related to the quickly developing corona virus situation in Norway. The rector just announced drastic measures, including cancelling all on-campus teaching until Easter and limiting meetings to critical functions (see info here in Norwegian).
