Dominican University publishes COVID-19 tracking board to measure up to the changing nature of the virus and set forth corresponding strategies.
On August 29, Vice President for Student Success & Engagement Barrington Price emails a blueprint of the COVID-19 Tracking dashboard.
According to the email, Dominican University’s Incident Management Assessment Team (IMAT) will collaborate with the Rush Epidemiology Team to ensure safety of the community members.
“This dashboard, while not exhaustive, is meant to offer the DU community insight into the measures which informs university decision making” states Price in the email.
Under Cumulative Positive Case to Date, there is a total of four student COVID-19 cases since August 2020. The 4 cases stand for 2% of all 160 people tested between August 21 and 27.
Cumulative Positive Cases
The cumulative test results, according to a definition table sent along with the email, include number of reported cases via #CampusClear app, CVS test results, and documents sent to the Wellness Center.
Isolation and Quarantine Rooms
Under the Room capacity for Resident Students, a reported 94% of quarantine rooms
are available. Availability of isolation rooms stands at 100%. Quarantine rooms are for students with possible exposure of the virus while the isolation room is for residents who contact COVID-19.
The Wellness will notify a student if they are “within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes without proper mask wearing”.
Contact Tracing
The Wellness Center will perform weekly contract tracing and investigate every positive COVID-19 test.
The average DU Contacts per student case is the mean of people notified for each COVID-19 case Wellness Center traced.

The tracking dashboard also informs the division of hybrid, online, and face-to-face
classes. Instructional morality includes percentages of the three class modes.
For undergraduates, online classes stand for 55.4%, hybrid classes stand for 17.3% and face-to-face classes stand for 24.9% of total classes.
By contrast, graduate students have 66.8% classes online, 3.4% classes opt for hybrid, and 25.4% classes remain in-person.
