WICHITA FALLS, Texas (TNN) - MSU Texas President Suzanne Shipley announced Tuesday the university is no longer requiring masks on campus.
The change comes in accordance to Gov. Abbott’s executive order prohibiting schools and governmental entities from requiring or mandating masks to be worn. According to the order, public schools can continue their current mask guidelines through June 4, but after that day, no one on campus can be required to wear a mask.
MSU Texas originally planned to make masks optional for the upcoming fall 2021 semester, with the switch to Phase IV Operations scheduled for Monday, Aug. 9.
