Kansas State University is eyeing a return to in-person learning in the fall.
In a letter to the university community Wednesday, K-State President Richard Myers says with decreasing COVID numbers and hospitalizatons locally, coupled with an increased availability of vaccines, the university has a more hopeful future. Myers says if the trends continue, the university will begin a phaseout of the university’s reopening plan by Aug. 1.
According to the plan that would mean activities returning to normal, no bans in place, but some restrictions may be imposed on a case-by-case basis. Very large gatherings would also be allowed on a case-by-case basis, depending on specific public health risk and containment activities. COVID-19 capacities on classrooms and learning spaces would be lifted for the fall semester.
Summer classes will continue in the remote, hybrid and in-person model in place throughout the fall 2020 and current spring semesters.
Lafene Health Center is scheduled to receive its first vaccine doses this week and eligible individuals will be contacted based on the established criteria.
