Received on the occasion of my retirement from my student supporters Gabi Irwin and Nguyen. Thank you very much!

The national trend for political party registrations and ideological leanings of college professors skews Democratic and liberal, according to data from the Higher Education Research Institute. This increases polarization of academic segmentation which can make nonpartisan discussions difficult.
Last week, I was interviewed by The Hoya, the Georgetown University student newspaper, about my conservative viewpoint and how that affects the relationship with other faculties and my students. Please check out the article here: https://thehoya.com/conservative-feature/
I write today to provide an update on our continuing response to the new coronavirus. While there have been no reported cases with any connection to Georgetown, we are monitoring the situation closely and taking a number of steps to ensure the health and safety of our community.
Some of these steps include:
For Faculty:
As you know, we are also at the height of flu season, with an estimated 15 million cases currently in the U.S. Out of an abundance of caution, we encourage you to proactively inform your students that if they are feeling sick or have the flu or flu-like symptoms, then they should consider staying home. Instructional continuity plans may need to be considered.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
Key Words: Coronavirus, NIH, Healthcare, International Travel, safety, Security, Infections, a global epidemic, Multidexterity of Protection, Safety and National Security.
