Berea College (Ky) cancels spring semester- students out after Friday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Berea College has canceled the spring semester and is forcing all students to move out of residence halls in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, President Lyle Roelofs announced Tuesday.

In a news release posted just after noon Tuesday, Roelofs said "it will not be possible to adequately assure student and employee safety in the circumstance of a case of COVID-19 occurring on campus."

Classes will end Friday, March 13. While some schools are moving instruction online, Berea is choosing not to do that because most students who leave campus will no longer have internet access.

I collect brooms and I so love the brooms that the students make at Berea College. I hope they can safely get back at it soon.
