MADISON, WI (WSAU) UW-Madison will resume some in-person instruction starting this weekend.
UW-Madison announced on Wednesday morning that courses that require special equipment or facilities will return to in-person or hybrid instruction on September 26. Instructors will contact those students on Friday.
Professors have discretion about re-starting in-person instruction for other lecture-style courses. Some may return to classroom instruction next week. Students will be notified no later than October 2.
UW-Madison has also lifted the quarantine on two of its residence halls. Students at Witte and Sellery Halls had been asked to remain in their dorm rooms except for meals at campus dining halls.
A statement from chancellor Rebecca Blank said there could be additional restrictions or future quarantines, and advised students to “adhere to public health guidance.” 11 student organizations and 350 students are being investigated for violating COVID-19 protocols. 20 students are being considered for emergency suspensions.
The UW says it has increased testing capacity and turn-around time for getting test results.
