RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas Tech University (ATU) has developed plans for how it will operate its Russellville and Ozark campuses during summer 2020 in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
ATU's summer 2020 classes will be conducted through virtual instruction.
"We will develop an ATU transition to recovery task force that will engage in discussions about a civically responsible return to standard operating procedures," said Dr. Robin E. Bowen, ATU president. "These discussions will be framed by guidance from the CDC and the Arkansas Department of Health. I remain appreciative of the flexibility and determination our university community has demonstrated as we work together to continue our mission of student access and student success."
Some critical labs will be taught by appointment, following the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines.
