The majority of WSU Pullman on-campus housing will be open in the fall semester with the exception of some facilities.
There are currently over 4,200 students planning to live on campus in the fall, which includes incoming freshmen and sophomores who were unable to live on campus last year, said Brandon Brackett, director of Housing and Residence Life.
“It’s going to be a pretty full campus,” said Brackett. “Gannon-Goldsworthy will be offline and maybe the McEachern halls, but most of [the buildings] will be online at this point.”
WSU plans to continue utilizing McEachern East as an isolation hall for those with COVID-19, Brackett said.
Around 300 people gathered Saturday afternoon at Reaney Park to support Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and to protest racism against the AAPI community.
Participants held signs with phrases such as “Stop Asian Hate” and “Hate is a Virus” during the program and while marching through downtown Pullman.
Organizers planned the rally in response to the over 3,800 hate crimes against AAPI people in the last year, which include the Atlanta spa shootings on March 16, where six of eight people killed were AAPI women.
Jiemei Lin, event organizer and senior graphic designer for WSU’s College of Education, led a moment of silence for the eight victims.
