UW System announces students, faculty and staff will return to campus for fall 2020 semester

0

The University of Wisconsin System announced Sunday that it will be welcoming students, faculty and staff back to campus for the fall 2020 semester.

“We are preparing an environment that reduces risk so that students, faculty, and staff can return to campus in person this fall,” UW System President Ray Cross said in a statement. “We know the on-campus experience is what our students want. At the same time, we must all recognize that our universities will be different this fall than what we’re used to and there will be campus-based decisions on how to best address particular issues. But students will be back on campus this fall.”

The announcement comes as universities continue planning for the 2020-21 academic year.

“Our UW System universities are vitally important to our students and our communities,” said Regent President Andrew S. Petersen in a press release. “The Board of Regents has engaged on this issue in our meetings, and I am confident in our prudent, thoughtful approach to providing educational services this fall.”
