Officials with Wayne State University, Michigan State University, and the University of Michigan all recently shared where their schools currently stand when considering a return to the classroom.
WSU President Roy Wilson said the school is planning for fall classes to be held online. He said he wants students to get back to school, but “the reality is that that is unlikely.”
Wilson said that if something happened that would allow students to get back on campus, the school would move to change the online plan, but that isn’t the current idea.
U of M President Mark Schlissel said he hopes students will return to the university’s campuses in the fall with new safety measures in place.
MSU is currently preparing for the fall semester to be online, but officials are also looking into the possibility of students returning to campus.
