If you haven t returned to your campus yet, the date is very likely in sight. But then again, maybe it s not.
Committees and administrators at colleges across the country are evaluating whether and to what extent some faculty and staff members could keep their jobs virtual. Before the pandemic, some institutions saw only an uptick in employees asking about flexible work policies.
Now bosses at colleges have plenty of questions to weigh. Among them: What does remote work mean for recruiting? Which staffers have the space and technology to work from home? How would employees leave policy work if someone moved out of state? Is remote work equitable for all employees?

For months, colleges have weighed the risks and rewards of bringing students back to campuses disrupted by Covid-19. Now they’re considering what to do about their employees.

Mangroves are overtaking oysters in Mosquito Lagoon with the help of the planet s warming temperatures.
Within a coastal refuge of tiny islands and sea water saltier than the ocean is a climate battle among natural Florida’s titans.
It’s happening in Central Florida’s remote and alluring Mosquito Lagoon, which nearly abuts Kennedy Space Center launch pads at the Atlantic Ocean.
Reigning guardians of the lagoon are oysters. They assemble in fortresses of low mounds, or reefs that appear above water at low tide. Their closely clustered shells suggest an invincible bristle of daggers and shields.
Invaders of Mosquito Lagoon are mangroves. Leafy and leggy, they are the only tree species fond of saltwater. Mangroves expand their turf by launching hordes of floating invaders that are sort of like elongated seeds and are called propagules.
