Kansas State University has announced the formation of a new team tasked with finding safe ways to provide in-person classes while also complying with health requirements.
This comes just two weeks after K-State President Richard Myers announced that the university intends to bring back in-person classes for the fall semester.
The Academic Instruction Working Group is made up of K-State staff and faculty and will seek to form an academic instruction model that can maintain health and safety, cater to the needs of both faculty and students and provide a high-quality educational experience while also remaining adaptable to COVID-19 related changes.
According to K-State Provost Chuck Taber, the team will submit its recommendations by June 1 and will continue to meet throughout the school year as needed.
The Academic Instruction Working Group is replacing the Academic Continuity Work Group, which was formed in early March to take on disruptions to university operations caused by the ongoing pandemic.
