At about 10 a.m., the Office of the President sent out an email that included a video. In the video, Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec spoke about housing and dining-buck refunds, online courses and graduation.
The refund for on-campus housing will be prorated from the time after spring break until the end of the semester. However, dining bucks will roll over to the fall 2020 semester unless the student is a graduating senior, he said.
In the video, Schovanec said more details on the virtual commencement ceremony will be released soon, and “the virtual graduation will be better than you might think.”
President Schovanec said he met with athletic director Kirby Hocutt and plans to invite and honor May 2020 graduates during half-time of a fall 2020 home football game.
“We are facing a serious public health crisis,” he said, “we must do all that we can to stay well and limit the number of people who need critical and intensive care.”
