- Campuses have shifted to a “mask-optional” protocol.
- Physical distance restrictions have ended.
- Weekly testing of employees and students and individual case contact tracing have ended.
- No one on campus has the authority to mandate the use of masks by others.
- All employees and students are expected to respect those who choose to continue wearing masks.
- Masks and antigen tests will be available for employees and students who want them.
- Employees and students are expected to continue to self-monitor their health and follow current CDC guidance on quarantine and isolation.
