The university announced that effective Monday, Aug. 9, it will require masks in public, indoor spaces for all university members. This change will remain in effect until the U of L community reaches an increased vaccination rate.
“Public, indoor spaces are defined as any space inside a campus building that is not considered a private room or private office,” U of L said.
The decision comes from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recent guidance that areas with high levels of transmission should begin implementing face masks, regardless of whether individuals are vaccinated or not.
