SIUC Undecided

From what I am hearing, SIUC is still deciding how it will reopen in a couple of weeks. The Faculty and Graduate Student Unions are pushing for a remote opening, with all classes that can be moved online. The university had planned to open with as many seated as possible but now, given the rise in COVID-19 cases in Jackson County in the last few weeks, the BOD is getting a bit worried about bringing some 9000 college students into town and what that could due to infection rates.
