Texas State University officials are moving ahead with plans for a “very robust in-person experience” for students with classes beginning next week, despite an increase in COVID-19 cases across the state spurred by the Delta variant.
University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Gene Bourgeois said Texas State has been preparing for the beginning of the semester with an estimated 87% of classes featuring a face-to-face component.
“We have long been preparing for a beginning of a semester, fall semester, at Texas State University to have basically a very robust in-person experience for our students in the classrooms and outside of the classrooms in their co and extracurricular activities,” Bourgeois said during a press conference Thursday. “We’ve been diligent in preparing for a safe return of our faculty, staff and students for this beginning of the fall semester.”
