Cleveland State University (CSU) will offer approximately 1,300 classes to students this fall, with more than 50 percent of them being taught in-person at the Downtown campus.

Classes taught on campus will be limited to 30 students and some will be moved to bigger areas to accommodate social distancing. Remaining classes will be taught online.

CSU President Harlan Sands called it an 鈥渁ggressive鈥� re-opening plan.

鈥淭his is the result of a lot of work, a lot of man hours, so we don鈥檛 take this lightly, we take this very, very seriously and we鈥檙e cautiously optimistic,鈥� Sands said.

Sands said CSU put together both a pandemic response team and an emergency operations group that鈥檚 been meeting since early March to work out how to educate during the pandemic. The groups have been communicating with faculty and staff groups on how to move forward.

鈥淎nother thing we鈥檝e also been doing, we've been working with all 14 other state universities in Ohio,鈥� Sands said. 鈥淲e actually took a leading role in putting together protocols that we all agree upon. And there is there's been a lot of discussions on that front.鈥�

The Tuesday. Among the details, staff and students are being told that everyone on the CSU campus will be required to wear masks and undergo daily health checks.  

Sands said one of the key components of the re-opening plan is the 鈥渄e-densification process of the residence halls and Fenn Tower.鈥� Students will be housed in private rooms in either Euclid Commons or Fenn Tower to try to thwart the spread of COVID-19.

鈥淪o we don't have any students that are sharing a bedroom, period,鈥� Sands said. 鈥淎nd then we've got some pretty strict distancing, physical distancing guidelines inside the residence halls. Use of the elevators would be restricted.  And we also made sure we were conscious of the overall footprint, the number of students in the building.鈥�
