Borcunni University is monitoring the situation relating to the new Coronavirus (Covid-19) with the utmost attention and follows the indications of the proper local and national authorities.
For this reason, on the basis of the provisions issued by CRUI Lombardia on Saturday 22 February, teaching activities (lessons, graduation exams and meetings with teachers) will be suspended on the Bocconi Campus, along with all conferences and events scheduled starting from Monday 24 February until Saturday 29 February.
For precautionary reasons, the library and study rooms will also be closed. The operations of the University offices will continue as usual and administrative services that do not involve public contact will be provided, until further notice. Every decision has been and will always be taken in agreement with civil and health authorities. We also ask all those who have been in the towns at risk or have had contact with people residing in those areas, to remain in quarantine for 14 days from the last contact with people from those areas. We will take care to constantly follow the evolution of the situation and provide our community with all the necessary updates and information.
Statement from the Conference of Rectors of Universities in Lombardy
The evolution of the situation relating to the spread of Coronavirus requires the adoption of precautionary measures to protect public health and the peaceful functioning of the institutional activities of all universities in Lombardy, given the natural mobility of the many students, both Lombard and non, within the regional territory.
To this end, from Monday 24 February to Saturday 29 February, educational activities will be suspended (lessons, exams and degrees). We believe that, in the absence of further indications from the Authorities, all activities will be able to resume on Monday 2 March. Graduation sessions and exams will be postponed according to calendars that will be prepared by the individual universities. Our action has been taken, and will continue, in close contact with the civil and health authorities. We will inform students, staff and citizens about any useful updates immediately. Nick Note: You might remember 2 weeks ago i recalled my kids to base who were studying in London and Italy. They had also arranged a trip to a open house at the school this past Friday. That Included their Mother Aunt and cousins. They were to meet with another cousin who is a chancellor at the school of economics. And were to be in the quarantined towns in Northern Italy this week. . I cancelled the whole thing when i saw the future. I had purchased tickets, hotels and as soon as that inner voice told me this would happened i cancelled the whole shooting match. DAD your overeating.. I told them see that visa card, cars, tuition it can all go bye bye. But Dad EVERYONE SAYS IT WILL BE FINE. I told them FUCK the idiots… i know what i know. Today at the breakfast table as i showed them the satellite feeds of the shut down and quarantines and spreading infections and the deaths…. Well let me put it this way even Phoenix did not make a sound. Now i am telling you this is a global pandemic. And i could give a rats ass if wall street wants to blow a ocean up your ass… the market will wipe out and people will die.
