Important Coronavirus Info
We Need Volunteers!!! COVID 19 testing is now available on campus. We need your help with administering the test. Please contact OHR if you would like to volunteer. Thank you.
Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information
Recently, Morgan announced mandatory testing of all students, faculty and staff before their return to campus, in addition to continued testing once they are on campus. The Morgan Campus Health Monitoring and Response Team (MCHMRT) was also formed, to manage positive cases that emerge on campus. Following Morgan’s announcement, Yale University’s School of Public Health released new research indicating that universities implementing COVID-19 testing as part of their safety model would need to commit to a frequency of testing and delivery of results that, without the proper infrastructure and resources, would potentially overwhelm the capacity to quarantine and isolate confirmed cases. It also stressed the challenges of regulating student behavior on campus and quickly managing anticipated outbreaks before the situation became uncontainable. Research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately impacting Black, Indigenous, Latin/Hispanic and other People of Color, who make up the majority of Morgan’s campus population.“Understandably, this is not the ideal outcome, nor is it what we desired for the fall semester, but it is the safest way to deal with the reality we face,” said President Wilson. “With the support of our Board of Regents, we will continue to make sound decisions that support the success of our University.” For more Coronavirus information, please click here
