UC Will Find It Hard to Deviate from CSU Fall Decision

With CSU recently announcing that it will be largely closed in the fall, UC will have a hard time deviating. As noted in prior posts, UC seemed to be leaning toward a "hybrid" model - some courses online, some in-person. But the CSU version of hybrid is that only a limited number of courses that absolutely require in-person instruction will be given that way:

The University of California said it is “likely none of our campuses will fully reopen in fall” due to the novel coronavirus outbreak. UC spokesperson Claire Doan explained in a statement Tuesday that the system is exploring a mixed approach of in-person and online classes.

“The health, well-being and safety of our community is of utmost importance,” Doan said in the statement. “We will continue to carefully monitor the rapidly evolving situation and plan ahead. Our campuses will reopen for on-site instruction when it is safe to do so – in alignment and coordination with federal, state and local health departments and authorities.”

The UC system is planning for a wide range of possibilities, Doan said.
