USU cancels upcoming events due to potential Coronavirus outbreak
Utah State University announced Tuesday afternoon all university events occuring after Thursday will be canceled until April 8. University faculty are also encouraged to “transition to online course delivery if necessary and should create contingency plans to teach their classes remotely,” according to an email sent to USU faculty and staff members from President Noelle E. Cockett.
Additionally, all university travel between Thursday through April 8 must be cancelled. The email made no mention of study abroad programs.
Cockett also encouraged university personnel to follow “best practices to prevent the spread of disease and to stay home if you are sick, even if your symptoms are mild.”
The Utah Statesman will update this story as more information is released.
Read the President’s message again. Faculty have been asked to create contingency plans in the event that USU must move online (as of the time of this comment, that is NOT the case). This is not the time to get details wrong.
