After publicly mulling the idea of requiring all students return to distance learning after the Thanksgiving holiday, it appears that Fresno State is engaging in an about-face on the proposal.
The idea of shifting to online-only schooling was floated during the depths of the Delta variant spike of coronavirus cases, mere weeks before a California State University-mandated deadline for students, staff, and faculty to get vaccinated to utilize on-campus resources.
Now, a report from ABC30 says that Fresno State administrators are walking back the drastic, post-vacation shift to digital learning.
The report noted that Fresno State officials are continuing to consult with Fresno County public health authorities before making a final decision, but the shift in tenor comes as the university boasts vaccination rates in excess of 85 percent for employees and students.
