Brandeis has permission to continue to provide the services needed by our students remaining on campus, per the governor's order allowing essential employees to continue their work:
Educators and staff supporting public and private emergency childcare programs, residential schools for students with disabilities, K-12 schools, colleges and universities for purposes of facilitating distance learning, provision of school meals or performing other essential student support functions, if operating under rules for social distancing.
The university will remain open and will continue to offer many services virtually. However, essential staff will remain on campus to provide services in support of distance learning, the provision of meals for students on campus or other essential student support functions, as well as research animal care and safe operation of critical equipment.
