Big Step Forward: UofSC Returning To In Person Instruction
May 6, 2020, 1:57 PM

Obvious that this is a big step forward in many ways...including football.
https://www.wyff4.com/article/uofsc-will-return-to-in-person-instruction-in-columbiamid-august/32390897
After weeks of analysis and consideration, and in consultation with the Board of Trustees, the Columbia campus of the University of South Carolina will resume in-person instruction in mid-August.
Learn more from President Caslen's May 6 message.
University leadership will host a virtual town hall event at 6 p.m., May 6, to answer as many questions from students, families, faculty and staff as possible.
President Caslen has established the Joint Staff and Faculty Senate Cost-Savings Opportunity Task Force to identify new and innovative cost saving opportunities. Visit go.sc.edu/futureplanning for more information.
The university is working with the U.S. Department of Education to implement their guidance and direction in the distribution of CARES Act funds. As soon as we are sure we have the final guidance, we will distribute immediately thereafter.

They know about infections. Glad they're leading the charge.

Here is the statement by Clemson...

Unlike uof6c, Clemson did not establish a firm date for resuming in-person classes. Instead, Clemson refers to "its goal of a safe return to in-person classes for fall 2020".
With a targeted goal of a safe return to in-person classes for the fall 2020 semester, Clemson officials announced an extension of the University’s current modified operational status through May 31. The University previously announced the suspension of all statewide events through the end of May, and all summer instruction will be conducted online. All faculty and staff should continue to work remotely unless previously approved for on-campus access.
University leadership, in conjunction with the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), is developing a phased plan which allows for the resumption of on-campus operations as soon as circumstances allow, with the health of students, faculty, staff and the community as its overarching priority.
More details about the phased approach, with specific guidance for faculty and staff including safety guidelines and protocols and the use and availability of community protective equipment (face coverings, PPE), will be provided soon.
Employees currently authorized to work on campus are expected to follow CDC recommendations relating to face coverings and other ways to protect yourself and others, to slow the spread of COVID-19 and assist the university to reach its goal of a safe return to in-person classes for fall 2020.
