I'm really curious what a university considers "essential research".

If they have a backbone then "all research" is essential

I assume the only research still being done would be directly related to the current viral situation, so not likely none at all at most universities

Probably time-sensitive research?

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

Oh, "kill a bunch of humans" has always been a solution to that.

3.1. Essential research activities include those that:

are related to COVID-19 that have a timeline for deployment that could address the current pandemic
are necessary for delivery of remote instruction
would pose a safety hazard if discontinued
maintain critical equipment in facilities and laboratories
maintain critical samples and living organisms, including plants and animals
involve new clinical trials and other new research essential to the health and/or well-being of patients, healthcare workers, first responders or the general public related to the current COVID-19 pandemic
involve existing clinical trials and other existing research essential to the participant as determined by the PI of the study, the participant and the participants care provider, and is informed by current health guidance regarding the COVID-19 outbreak.
have US Government- or State of Texas- mandated security and access requirements, cannot be performed remotely, and whose activity is deemed critical by the US Government or State of Texas
that if discontinued would generate significant data and sample loss - including laboratory or field work
are longitudinal or seasonal and discontinuation would result in loss of significant data or samples are agricultural research with critical implications for human and animal health or food security are required/requested by a US Government agency or State of Texas sponsor to continue during this time

Suspended in the sense of you are unofficially on vacations? Or in the sense of work from home if possible?

I've been working from home for a month now. Which does not mean much, as I never worked on my research centre anyway. I live 560km away from it, so I can happily work on my laptop by the sea or in bars. Well, I used to...

Researching from home is utterly boring an highly unproductive in my case. I hate working at home.

Been a murder, over in Riften. Some old lady who runs an orphanage. Those poor children must be heartbroken.
