Private colleges eye COVID-19 liability, testing concerns
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. As private colleges and universities set plans to reopen amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the head of a statewide association is raising concerns about liability protections and virus testing costs. That's why he is making a priority of trying to get private colleges and universities in a bill during the upcoming legislative session that would provide liability protections related to COVID-19. As liability concerns linger, all 30 colleges and universities that make up ICUF are preparing for faculty members and students to return to campus in August and September. Boyd said it is too costly to do universal testing, so institutions will be focused on targeted testing on campus and will encourage students and faculty to undergo testing for COVID-19. Ave Maria University, a Catholic university in Collier County, noted in its fall reopening plan that in addition to coaches and players, athletic department staff members will undergo COVID-19 testing.
Rollins College plans to welcome students back in September with changes
WINTER PARK, Fla. Rollins College, a private university in Winter Park, plans to begin conducting on-campus classes this fall after closing its campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students will also need to wear masks during class, which will be provided in a wellness kit from the college. For the 2020-21 academic year, classes for students in the College of Liberal Arts and the Hamilton Holt School begin Sept. 14. Should all students need to move to virtual learning due to the virus, the grant will be pro-rated and awarded to all students.
