MU Considers Early Start to Fall Semester

Nathan Lawrence / KBIA

Update: The MU Faculty Council struck down the proposal in a 23-6 vote Thursday afternoon. However, many of the "no" votes sought further discussion or amendments. The MU Board of Curators will hold a meeting on June 18-19 to further discuss the issue.

The proposal was shared with the MU community in an email sent Wednesday by Interim MU Chancellor and UM System President Mun Choi. The UM System Board of Curators would have to approve the change for it to take effect.

MU has yet to make an official announcement on what fall classes will look like after moving all instruction online in mid-March because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Choi has said in-person, online or a mix of both is possible.
