Individual universities will implement a common set of recommended practices.
Dear Colleagues,
Our universities have demonstrated tremendous agility and resilience in pursuing our
mission in the most challenging contexts. In a matter of weeks – in some cases days
– our universities fundamentally changed every aspect of their operating models so
our students could continue progress towards their degrees in the midst of a global
pandemic. We must now look ahead. Please read our message, "What you can expect this fall," where we discuss the common approach our universities are taking to mitigate health
and safety concerns, as well as the differences in the implementation. We believe
that this is the right approach for our State System – best, most workable approach,
to ensuring that the System’s universities continues to pursue their historic role
as an engine of economic development and social mobility at a time when that role
is arguably more important than ever before.
