JACKSON, Tenn. — Union University confirmed Friday that they plan to resume on-campus and in-person classes for the fall semester.

According to a news release, university officials are planning to take safety precautions to protect students, faculty and staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

University officials are still working on logistics and are developing plans for classroom space, on-campus dining options, housekeeping and other areas, the release says.
