Dear Faculty,

Thank you for your interest in participating in our research study about the COVID-19 crisis that is impacting the university community in novel ways, such as challenging faculty to think more deliberately about their teaching approaches and triggering reflection about their teaching philosophies. Prior to the interview, we would like you to provide relevant background information to help us learn a little about potential participants and ensure a broad sample. If you are selected for and complete the interview you will be given a $25 gift card to Amazon.com to show our appreciation.

You may choose not to answer any question on the survey. If you wish to skip a "required" question, please just elect the option or enter "pass" into the text field. Returning an incomplete survey will not affect
your eligibility to participate in the research. Also, you may contact the PI, Matthew Manierre at mmanierr@clarkson.edu at a later time and ask us to not use your data in full or partially. If you have questions about your rights as a research subject or if you wish to report any harm, injury, risk or other concern, please contact the Human Subjects Review Board, Clarkson University, at 315-268- 3764 or e-mail to irb@clarkson.edu.

Lastly, completing this survey does not constitute consent to participate in any other aspects of the research. In other words, by completing this survey, you are not agreeing to participate in the full study. If you do not fully participate in the study, this information will not be used in the research.

Thank you for your time!

Matthew Manierre
