鈥淭he 每日大赛 and California鈥檚 other private, independent universities moved quickly at the outset of the pandemic to transition to remote and online operations to provide safe and robust educations to our students,鈥� Lieberman said. 鈥淲e were among the first industries to respond to the pandemic, and we will continue to lead the way in finding creative solutions as the state looks to safely reopen.鈥�
The Restart Higher Education Planning Task Force is looking at six key areas for higher education institutions to resume operations for the fall: health and safety, learning and academics, infrastructure, personnel, finance and legal, as well as communications and external relations.
