Temple University Going Remote After Outbreak
CBS3 is reporting that Temple University is suspending all in person classes for the remainder of the semester after a COVID-19 outbreak.
Temple has reported over 100 COVID-19 cases over the last week due to an outbreak that officials believe is linked to students living in off-campus housing.
The announcement was made on Thursday morning.
“That is why we are announcing that the current suspension of all but essential in-person teaching on Temple University’s domestic campuses will continue for the remainder of the fall semester,” the letter read. “Essentials-only courses are those for which educational objectives cannot be achieved without all or some in-person instruction. We estimate that 95% of courses will be online for the remainder of the semester. Employees currently working on campus should continue to do so until notified otherwise by your supervisor. We will continue to work together as a community to ensure that students receive the quality education they expect from Temple and continue progress toward their degree.”
