Several ETSU faculty and staff will now follow students in remote work after an email announcement on March 17 by the Office of the President. The decision is preventative as ETSU monitors the Coronavirus pandemic.

“ETSU’s anticipate that a significant volume of staff will be working from remote/distance/alternative locations in the upcoming days,” the email states. “It is critical to note that the university will remain open throughout the days and weeks to come.”

The announcement comes after university officials decided on March 12 to move all coursework online until April 9 following ETSU’s spring break.

Many universities across the country have already implemented these procedures as a precautionary response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
