A&S planning efforts are being guided by:

1. Safety: The safety of staff, visitors, contractors, students, faculty, and the Charlottesville community will guide all decisions.
2. Support: We will enact policies and practices that demonstrate caring and empathy for individual health and safety needs. 
3. Cooperation: We will work together using an open approach to information sharing, help each other stay informed and to comply with guidelines. 
4. Agility: As we learn and situations change, we will adapt and be ready to change policies and guidelines to protect health and safety.
