LSU interim president Thomas Galligan says the plan is for students to be back on campus this fall. Galligan says the university needs to get back to business, but they ‘ll do it in a safe manner.
“Will some large classes be online instead of a big lecture hall, probably,” said Galligan. “Will smaller e classes be in bigger rooms, probably.”
If students return to campus for the fall semester. Will dorms be open? Galligan says they want to make sure campus living is safe, which means some dormitories will remain closed.
“We are analyzing where are theresidence halls have common bathrooms, those are the ones we take a careful look at, is that a safe place to be,” said Galligan.
He says despite all of the uncertainty, the Baton Rouge campus is setting records for the number of applications.
Galligan is also hopeful football will be played this fall, but the Tigers will only take the field when it’s safe and delaying the start of the season is a possibility. He says whether Tiger Stadium will be packed is a question they can’t answer now.
“It maybe a little different in some ways, but I think it’s important to play the season and I hope to do so,” said Galligan.
