Masks or face coverings are now required on a majority of Kansas State University property.
The university announced Tuesday an updated policy effective immediately for all students, faculty, staff and visitors. This extends to all contractors and vendors working on university property. It specifically mentions coverings in all hallways, public spaces, classrooms and other common areas of campus buildings. Face coverings are required whenever 6 feet of physical distancing cannot be achieved, inside an office or outside on K-State campuses. Failure to comply with face-covering requirements may result in denial of access to designated areas or activities.
University officials hope by instituting the new policy, they can slow the spread of COVID-19 to help in the eventual return to campus activity in the fall.
Reasonable accommodations and assistane can be made by request through the ADA coordinator for employees or the Student Access Center for students.
