LAST August 13, 1:18 p.m. Stanford University announced Thursday that “almost all” of its undergraduate courses will be held remotely with few face-to-face courses. In addition, freshmen, second year, and newly transferred will not be able to live on campus during the fall period, as previously announced. (However, a small number of academics who in the past were allowed to live on campus in special cases will be able to do so.)

“Our initial plans for the coming year have evolved in a context of evolving public fitness. At the time, it was moderate to expect the stage to continue at this level of summer,” wrote Stanford University President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. a statement. “However, as we have all seen, there has been a dramatic change in the reopening of California due to the increased spread of COVID-19.

“Last Friday, the state of California issued rules for higher education establishments to indicate reopening considerations,” Tessier-Lavigne added. We believe that these rules are considered and accountable, reflecting an ongoing state commitment to control the pandemic. (…) Significantly, the rules do not allow the maximum number of courses in the classroom as long as the county in which the school or university is located is on the state watch list. “

Tessier-Lavigne added that if public fitness situations replace for the better, the hope of welcoming freshmen, sophomores and students transferred to campus during the winter period, third- and fourth-year students coming to campus in the spring.
