FAMU, along with the state’s other 11 public universities, plan to increase classroom occupancy to pre-COVID capacity for the 2021-22 academic year and return to pre-COVID operations.
The announcement which came at yesterday’s Board of Governors meeting.
The move is not a surprise to most observers given that Governor Ron DeSantis has gone full throttle with reopening the state.
"FAMU looks forward to welcoming everyone back to our campuses for a successful 2021-2022 academic year, said President Larry Robinson. “We strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated at our COVID-19 vaccination site located at our Al Lawson Multipurpose Center and Teaching Gymnasium, or wherever available, as part of our effort to protect and minimize the number of COVID-19 cases on campus and in our communities. Beginning summer semester, FAMU recommends that face coverings be used indoors. As part of the State University System of Florida, FAMU joins all 12 public universities in anticipation of a return to pre-COVID-19 classroom capacity and operations for the upcoming academic year."
