鈥淲e are committed to making decisions in a responsible way and are continuing to consult with federal, state, and local resources,鈥� President Randy O鈥橰ear said in a written statement. 鈥淲ith rapidly changing developments and increasing concern, we have determined the best course of action is to extend Spring Break by one week.

A decision about changes to spring athletic events will be made separately in consultation with officials from the American Southwest Conference.
鈥淏ecause of the dynamic nature of this situation, a determination has not been made about class format after March 20. Decisions regarding next steps related to delivery of education and student services will be communicated as soon as they are made,鈥� O鈥橰ear said.
Most campus housing will remain closed during the extended Spring Break. Students should remain off campus at this time. However, students who have no alternative living arrangements should contact Dr. Brandon Skaggs, Vice President for Student Life.
