University of Louisville is planning a hybrid approach to reopening its campus this fall after the coronavirus forced the school to cancel all in-person classes in March. Speaking at a virtual budget workshop Thursday, University Executive Vice President and Provost Beth Boehm presented several ideas to the school's board of trustees. The school plans to use a hybrid model for courses, utilizing both in-person class time as well as online lectures. Boehm said professors will have the option to teach between 25 and 75 percent of their usual class size face-to-face. One example of a hybrid model would be hosting an online lecture for the entire class early in the week, then holding two face-to-face classes later that week, each with about half the students. Boehm explained the university is also readjusting where classes are held to give students more space, but this is not necessarily an option for some of UofL's largest classes. Students are in favor of this model, Boehm said, according to a report done by the student government association. "It does allow for us to de-densify the classroom, but it also prepares both faculty and students to make a quick pivot should we have to go all online again this fall," Boehm said. The university also won't ask students to come back after Thanksgiving break. Students will finish their coursework and take their exams online in December. Boehm said the dorms, however, will stay open until the end of the semester for students who don't have the option to go home. UofL is also considering changes to its tuition rate structure so that online courses will no longer be more expensive than in-person classes. The university's chief financial officer, Dan Durbin, said despite the coronavirus, UofL will end fiscal year 2020 in good financial shape. The school implemented a number of measures in March to mitigate the financial hit after it was forced to cancel in-person classes and activities. It limited hiring, furloughed some staff and reduced pay for faculty making more than $100,000. On Thursday, the administration said these measures and others will likely stay in place for now.
