Hi Pete:

Rather than try to create a campus-wide policy or similar, we've developed a performance-oriented, activity-based template. Here's the page:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ehs.ucdavis.edu_ps_cls_sop&d=BQIGaQ&c=lb62iw4YL4RFalcE2hQUQealT9-RXrryqt9KZX2qu2s&r=meWM1Buqv4IQ27AlK1OJRjcQl09S1Zta6YXKalY_Io0&m=vM0eQ_dVi__hHpN3HFLingVk-8vT4Log4ho9nN5vQFk&s=IAb2lO1A5bji-CssctJRUswriSWmfH_tua4Fqyj6dlc&e= It's the last document in the list.

Within the template, there are some campus-wide restrictions you can see. The Chemistry Department faculty were required to create a working alone SOP (because they're special) and it's been strongly recommended for other departments.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Debbie

Hi everyone, what policies do your institutions have regarding working alone and/or on nights and weekends? Is your policy the same for everyone, or does it treat professors, grad students, and undergrads differently?

Thanks,
