San Diego State University (SDSU)has announced plans to expand access to return the majority of faculty and staff to campus this fall along with students. Specific guidance and other details will be shared at a later time, the university said.
“These are major milestones. We are pleased that more indoor activities are now permitted in San Diego and Imperial counties, and that, come mid-June, all sectors in the state will be able to return to usual operations with health and safety practices adopted,” SDSU President Adela de la Torre shared in a campus message.
The campus announcement came after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the state’s plan to fully reopen on June 15.
“With more than 20 million vaccines administered across the state, it is time to turn the page on our tier system and begin looking to fully reopen California’s economy,” Newsom said. “We can now begin planning for our lives post-pandemic. We will need to remain vigilant, and continue the practices that got us here — wearing masks and getting vaccinated — but the light at the end of this tunnel has never been brighter.”
With California having administered more than 20 million vaccine doses and California State University campuses already planning for more in-person activities, Chancellor Joseph I. Castro applauded Newsom’s announcement.
“As regions throughout California continue to make significant progress in our collective effort to defeat COVID-19, I am increasingly optimistic about the California State University’s ability to return to delivering a majority of classes and activities in person in the fall,” Castro said in a statement following Newsom’s announcement.
