\"Augsburg<\/a>After the unsafe events Friday night in Minneapolis, we made the decision to temporarily close residence halls on campus and relocate resident students outside of the metro area if they did not have alternative places to stay. That Saturday morning, it was not clear whether Saturday night would be a repeat of Friday, so we made an alternative housing option available outside the Twin Cities for students\u2014including providing meals and transportation in compliance with our COVID-19 protocols.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this alternative provided safe housing for students, we understand some students felt they needed to remain in the Twin Cities and support their community. We recognize this, and yet our first responsibility was to provide for the safety of our students in a volatile, unpredictable situation\u2014and we had to make arrangements very quickly, which presented additional challenges. I want to recognize the extraordinary work of our Student Affairs and Residence Life team who worked diligently to reach our 100+ resident students. They again reached out today to provide housing options and transportation to those students for this evening. I also want to recognize the ongoing and resilient leadership of the Augsburg Day Student Government, who took it upon themselves to provide <\/span>information and clarification about the resident student relocation<\/span><\/a> after misinformation was posted on social media. In times like these, to see students step up like this, truly shows just how Augsburg pulls together.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
