The University of California at Berkeley has decided to suspend most in-person classes, starting Tuesday, and will be “offering ALL lecture courses (including discussion sections) and seminar instruction and assessment through alternative modalities,” campus officials told faculty in an urgent email Monday just after noon.
The announcement and changes were “designed to help limit coronavirus (COVID-19) risk on campus,” officials wrote, adding, “There are no confirmed cases on our campus at this time.”
