Mississippi colleges and universities will resume “traditional operations” in fall of 2020, barring any national or state emergencies, the Board of Trustees of Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning voted on Thursday.
The IHL Board, which oversees Mississippi’s eight public colleges and universities, voted unanimously to pass this resolution and emphasizes that “providing a safe learning and living environment for the students it serves” and providing a safe work environment for staff is “paramount.”
“All of the universities under the governance of the board shall make plans to resume traditional operations on their campuses in the Fall of 2020 to include the offering of as many in-person classes as possible,” the resolution states.
