Sheffield has just suspended face to face teaching . A member of staff has the virus and some suspected student cases

There is more than one uni work in Sheffield would help if you said which.

Birkbeck College, part of Uni of London, has too.

The University of Sheffield not Sheffield Hallam

It’s Sheffield University, HeresMe. Quite a few have suspended face to face teaching now. LSE, Durham, Warwick, Loughborough, Manchester Met. Many of the students want to go home, and academic staff are not relishing being cooped up all day in unventilated classrooms with dozens of students coughing in their direction.

UEA have and Southampton Uni too.

UCL has for the rest of the academic year.

Leicester uni is closed as of Monday

University West of Scotland are also closing campuses as of Monday.

Edinburgh are phasing out favs to face by Monday 23rd.
Glasgow haven’t said but have said no on-campus exam halls.

Will the staff have to carry on I wonder ?

My university in Scotland has also suspended teaching until 23rd where it will continue remotely. Exams cancelled etc for 1st and 2nd yr, Uni strike just finished so no teaching been had since February break, only 3 weeks left of teaching anyway but I hace fallen into a slump with strike and now this so kind if grateful for it.

University of Hertfordshire has too, and stopped any externals from visiting campus.

Cambridge students being advised to go home. My ds is coming home tomorrow. meanwhaile my dd at Leeds uni says all pretty much carrying as normal, with some talk of posisble online lectures after easter
