The 26-page reopening plan will be submitted to the Florida Board of Governors, which will consider it for approval at the June 23 meeting in Orlando.
�This plan presents a set of comprehensive measures taken for the benefit of faculty, staff and students as we ramp up on-campus operations,� Robinson said. �We will do all we can to continue to provide exceptional experiences for our students and address the well-being of our faculty and staff. Their return to campus will be a vote of confidence in us. We will not take that lightly.�
