Students and staff are not required to wear face masks on campus, Ed Brinksma stated during the meeting of the University Council this Tuesday. “Even though the campus is open to the public, it is not a public space,” he clarified. Furthermore, the EUR is aligning its policy as much as possible with that of the VSNU.<\/p>\n

Employees must work from home for the next three weeks, unless they have to provide a physical form of education or carry out on-location research. All physical education on campus is timetabled and remains unaffected. In addition, the university is going to \u2018further optimise online education.\u2019 For the rest, students can continue to make use of the study spaces on campus and the university library.<\/p>\n

Temporary<\/h2>

Brinksma stresses that these measures are temporary. \u201cIf the measures work successfully, we will gradually be able to open our doors again. If not, we will be going into lockdown in three weeks\u2019 time.\u201d The university is also looking for (online) alternatives for the organisation of major events, such as graduation ceremonies and the Dies Natalis.<\/p>\n\n\t
