Reopening blueprint approved for Florida public universities
Students could be returning to Florida’s 12 public universities this fall after campuses were shut down this past spring because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Florida Board of Governors unanimously approved a blueprint for reopening campuses for the fall semester during a teleconference meeting Thursday. The blueprint is meant to guide the state universities in developing individualized plans for reopening in light of the challenges posed by COVID-19.
“We really must recognize that each university is different, and therefore each must present a plan that is best suited for its unique circumstances and characteristics,” Board Chairman Sydney Kitson said. “Using the blueprint for reopening campuses, we will be stronger and more successful in achieving our goals and focusing on the health and welfare of our students, faculty, staff, vendors, volunteers and visitors.”
The blueprint was developed over the past month by a task force of university presidents, along with other school officials and emergency managers, Kitson said. Each school must present its own specific plan to the Board of Governors next month.
