(March 25, 2020 7:05 AM) University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel announced that that all spring and summer courses at U-M’s Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses will be conducted remotely in alternative formats, as has been the case for winter semester courses since March 16.
Schlissel also announced that all UM employees should now work remotely “unless your unit needs you on campus to maintain the work we’ve identified as critical to our mission.”
That action, one of several items in a university-wide email, followed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s statewide “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order to help stem the spread of the novel coronavirus and COVID-19.
According to Schlissel, the decision to move all spring and summer courses online “aligns with our ongoing efforts to respond to the pandemic, by maintaining this critical part of our mission while encouraging social distancing.”
