MU Students, Instructors Must Wear Face Masks, Shields Indoors This Fall

MU students will be required to wear face masks while indoors on campus this fall as classes begin amid the continuing pandemic.

University of Missouri System President and Interim MU Chancellor Mun Choi confirmed the decision in a news conference after a UM System Board of Curators meeting Thursday.

Instructors will wear face shields, Choi said, which the university is working to secure. Face shields would allow deaf and students who are hard of hearing to better read instructors' lips.
