The University of Manitoba has announced that it will have remote classes to start the winter term according to University President and Vice-Chancellor Michael Benarroch. The U of M follows the University of Winnipeg who made their announcement to start the new term remotely last week.
Benarroch says they will reevaluate the situation as they approach their winter break at the end of February and then they will decide if they are going back to in-person classes or if they will continue remotely. Limited in-person activities will continue if it is absolutely necessary and there is no reasonable remote alternative.
More information will be given to students by their faculties, and staff will receive the info they need from their supervisors.
