In a recent press release, the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK) has welcomed the first steps towards reopening society made possible by the recent decisions of the federal and state governments, but warns emphatically against a hasty resumption of in-person courses and lectures at universities.
HRK President Prof. Peter-André Alt declared: “Although it is very positive that we are being given more leeway for various social activities, for many reasons, it makes little sense to resume comprehensive in-person courses at universities within a week’s time”. It is not advisable simply to switch from remote to face-to-face formats at short notice.
