KEARNEY–Chancellor Doug Kristensen announced today that the University of Nebraska (UNK) at Kearney is suspending face-to-face classes beginning on March 30 due to immediate concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus.
According to a press release from UNK Communications, courses at UNK are moving to virtual, online or alternative instruction beginning the first day of classes following spring break. Remote instruction will continue through the end of the spring semester, May 8. Classes will be held on campus next week (March 16-20) as scheduled.
“The health and well-being of our community is our primary concern, and each decision we make will take that and our students’ needs into account,” Kristensen said. “It’s important that we limit risk and mitigate the spread of this virus.”
