Will implement whatever safety measures and health protocols are necessary to keep students and employees safe including operating in-person classes at 50%
According to a news story by Maria Polletta and Alison Steinbach, published April 30 in the Arizona Republic, Arizona State University, the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University all plan to resume in-person classes this fall.
ASU President Michael Crow said he would “implement whatever safety measures and health protocols are necessary to keep students and employees safe” when classes begin August 20.
UA President Robert Robbins said that UA’s in-person classes would operate at 50% capacity so students could distance themselves from each other.
NAU President Rita Cheng, in an email to students, said NAU plans to require physical distancing in all public areas and classrooms. Residential and dining areas will have new health and safety protocols. NAU plans to adopt “state-of-the-art testing and contact tracing” as well as isolation when necessary, Cheng wrote.
