Effective Friday, Oct. 23, 2020, the university will no longer allow gaiters or face shields (when worn without a mask) as appropriate face coverings.
Students, faculty, staff, and visitors are required to wear face masks in all university buildings, including classrooms, including the Hardin Library. Masks should be worn outside when social distancing is not possible.
Appropria
te face coverings now include:
o Cloth mask
o Disposable mask
Students, faculty, and staff may wear face shields for additional protection so long as they are w
orn with a face mask.
*Instructors
may wear a face shield in certain situations where instruction requires an unobstructed view of faces and in situations requiring student accommodations. In these instances, instructors will need to maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet from those they are instructing.
