Ohio State President Michael Drake Says University Could Return to On-Campus Operations in Coming Weeks

A return to on-campus operations could be imminent for Ohio State.

University president Michael Drake told The Lantern on Thursday that the school could begin transitioning faculty and staff back on campus in the next few weeks, and will reach a decision regarding the fall semester by the end of June.

“Given the current models, and a favorable month of May and a good and safe and smooth return in later May and June to July, by the end of June, we would be able to say, ‘Gee, here’s what our fall looks like,’ and that can be good or not so good depending on what those things look like,” Drake told The Lantern.
