Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Minnesota’s administration has made many decisions to ensure the health and safety of students, faculty and staff.
From testing, vaccination and mask mandates to updates around University finances, many of these decisions were made by the Board of Regents, the University’s governing board. As the second anniversary of the first COVID-19 case in Minnesota approaches on March 6, some regents looked back at key decisions made throughout the pandemic.
Correction: A previous version of this story misstated the date that the University announced students could switch the grading scale for classes. The University announced that students could switch the grading scales to S/N for classes on March 20, 2022.
