I\u2019m Grace Ferguson, here with a recap of Boston University\u2019s third Back2BU Virtual Meeting. Friday\u2019s meeting was focused on the Questrom School of Business, but BU officials also shared university-wide information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dean Elmore told attendees that he may ask a student to leave campus if they aren\u2019t complying with health protocols. So far, this is the strongest and most clearly defined enforcement measure the university has announced. Before Friday, BU officials had only talked about education and community-based enforcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also on Friday, officials revealed some new details about dining. Some tables will be for single diners, and other tables will be for households. They\u2019ll seat up to four or five people. And, while the weather\u2019s warm, there might be some outdoor seating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Questrom Starbucks will be open, but BU is still figuring out the seating there. There probably won\u2019t be in-person ordering, though. Most food retail locations will be using an app for mobile order pickups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And once people have their orders, they might have to take them outside. One of Questrom\u2019s associate deans, Frederic Brunel, said people should avoid eating in the Questrom building. That\u2019s because they would have to take off their masks, which are required on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for academics, Brunel said very few Questrom classes would be fully online. The Questrom Core will be taught in a fully hybrid format, and there will be sections throughout the day to accommodate different time zones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s all for today\u2019s recap. The next two Virtual Meetings will be on Monday. The College of Engineering session will be at 8 am, and the College of Communication session will be at 8 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Salt Lake City, Utah, I\u2019m Grace Ferguson for WTBU News.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wtbu \u00b7 Back2BU Virtual Meetings Recap &#8211; Part 2 By Grace Ferguson TRANSCRIPT: You\u2019re listening to WTBU News.
