Cancellation of MSU spring break comes as surprise to staff, students
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Midwestern State University canceled its spring break for the 2020-2021 academic year on Wednesday.
University administration believes it will minimize travel for students and faculty and hopefully prevent further spread of COVID-19.
This came as a bit of a surprise as faculty members were aware this could happen, but were not given a heads up about the decision being official. Students said the reasoning is understandable, but it’s still disappointing.
Maybe it’s a week under the sun or a trip to the mountains, but either way spring break is notorious for travel.
Travel is the very reason MSU Texas is choosing to cancel it this school year.
“I’m kinda mad about it because spring break, my family always plans trips and everything,” Junior education major Maddy Schiek said. “We didn’t get to go last year so this year we were all planning to do something, but I can’t go.”
“I already had plans to see my family that’s out of town that we haven’t be able to see so I was kind of upset by it all,” Sophomore psychology, pre-med major Brylee Grubb Erwin said. “But especially because we didn’t get a personalized email or any notification from the school, I had to find out through a friend.”
There’s a line crossed through the spring break date on MSU Texas’ academic calendar and that’s how MSU Texas Mass Communication Associate Professor Bradley Wilson first found out.
