'''Finding.''' As of Week 1 (May 7, 2026), clinical placement was secured for the reporting student, but no onsite Clinical Faculty Member had been finalized; the Faculty Clinical Coordinator was still working on it with no confirmed dates, times, or assignment.

'''Evidence.''' Christina Kennedy's email, May 7, 2026, 4:16 PM, stating the team was working to secure an onsite Clinical Faculty Member but had not finalized it.

'''Reported statement.'''
<blockquote>We are currently working to secure a Clinical Faculty Member to be onsite with you, but that has not been finalized yet.</blockquote>

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 5 requires qualified clinical faculty supervision confirmed before rotations begin, and 34 CFR 668.14 requires administrative capability. Beginning clinical without a confirmed onsite supervisor is a supervisory gap affecting patient safety and competency evaluation. Lead: {{HU|HU-121}}. Compare {{HU|HU-117}} (Pfaff resignation), {{HU|HU-128}} (no placement Week 3), {{HU|HU-138}}, {{HU|HU-161}} (faculty continuity).

'''Impact.''' The student had no identified person to contact for clinical guidance, safety concerns, or grade disputes at rotation start.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-121}} (lead). Split 2026-06-06.
