The report details the University’s preparation for the return of students in August for in-person learning, the dramatic increase in cases during the first 10 days of classes, the decision to keep students on campus but to restrict interaction and teach only online for two weeks, and the robust mitigation measures taken that allowed a resumption of in-person learning after the pause.
The University is hopeful that the enhanced testing, Campus Compact and the many continuing measures that were implemented last semester will keep the campus and broader communities safe.
