Mitch Daniels comments on Purdue’s plans for the fall in the midst of COVID-19

Purdue President Mitch Daniels spoke to a U.S Senate committee this Thursday on the possibility of another COVID-19 outbreak later this year.

Daniels introduced the “Protect Purdue Pledge” explaining to Senators what the university’s plans are regarding next school year and keeping students, faculty and staff safe throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The plan includes many health measures that will or could be taken coming to West Lafayette this fall both in the classroom and sporting events.

This will have a large impact on Purdue athletic events this coming year and some are saying that college football may not be played at all.
