The California State University (CSU) system recently announced that it is officially ending all in-person fall classes and switching exclusively to online. The closure will affect all 23 campuses in the system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CSU Chancellor Timothy White explained that “this virtual planning approach for the next academic year is necessary because of the evolving data surrounding the progression of COVID-19.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

White also said that health experts and researchers are expecting an increase in coronavirus cases in the fall to coincide with the flu season. He added that a vaccine being developed during the academic year is unlikely and that public immunity is still very low.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have 530,000 people, students, faculty and staff. To bring them together in small, close quarters, vibrantly interacting as you do in a university\u2026sadly isn\u2019t in the cards.\u201d \u2014 @calstate<\/a> Chancellor Timothy White on why the Cal State system is largely going virtual for fall.<\/p>\n
