Other Universities Beginning to Slide Beyond January 18

Although January 18 is still the magic date for resuming or starting in-person classes at the various UC campuses including UCLA, other universities are now moving to later dates:

From Inside Higher Ed: More institutions are moving classes online to deal with Omicron. Rutgers University announced that the system would spend several weeks online before returning to in-person instruction on Jan. 31. Students have been told to return to housing Jan. 29 and 30, not Jan. 16-17. “Information on any financial credits or offsets will be forthcoming,” the university said. Denise M. Trauth, the president of Texas State University, wrote to students and employees that while classes would start, on schedule, Jan. 18, they would all be online until Jan. 31. She stressed that no classes were being canceled. Students still may move into their residence halls as previously scheduled. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte announced that classes would begin as scheduled Jan. 10 but would be online only until Jan. 24. Huston-Tillotson University, in Texas, will be online from Jan. 10 to Jan. 24.
