FAYETTEVILLE — A proposal to require people to wear masks on University of Arkansas System campus’ common spaces was scuttled Wednesday after a trustee said he was concerned the rule would prevent the Razorbacks football team — and other sports teams — from practicing.
Trustees passed over the item with the intention of revisiting it at their next meeting in July.
For several minutes, trustees discussed whether the resolution, as written, should cover campus visitors and if it should be considered the bare minimum requirement for campuses, in case a chancellor wanted to impose more stringent requirements.
