Morehouse College, Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University students will not return to campus when classes start this fall.

The Atlanta historically Black colleges and universities made the announcement Monday that they will continue remote learning for the semester.

The school presidents all cited the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in Atlanta and states where many students are from led to the decision.[/quote]

“As much as I wanted to see the men of Morehouse return to campus for classes on Aug. 19, the spike in COVID-19 cases in Georgia and across the nation, warrants us to change course to protect the health and safety of Morehouse students, faculty, and staff,” Thomas said. “Many of our target enrollment areas are facing outbreaks. And as families use their summer vacation to travel both locally and out of state, Morehouse could not guarantee the well-being of our community for in-person instruction, even with the rigorous safety protocols that we were planning. I believe that continuing online learning is our most prudent path forward.”

Classes for Morehouse will be taught online from Aug. 19 through the end of finals, Nov. 20, with no fall break.

Morehouse said most residence houses on campus will remain closed, except for one that will be available for international students and others who have a critical need for housing.[/quote]
