Last week, President Mark B. Rosenberg announced the full return of faculty and staff members in an effort to repopulate campus.

The university’s COVID-19 dashboard only reflects cases that are self-reported by students and faculty to the Student Affairs and Human Resources divisions or the FIU COVID-19 Response Team. 

The FIU dashboard divides COVID-19 cases into four categories; students living or learning on campus, students learning remotely, faculty/staff working on campus, or working remotely.

A total of 275 cases has been reported since the start of the spring semester, with 176 being students and the remaining 99 being faculty and staff members. 

A total of 757 cases have been self-reported to FIU since the beginning of the fall semester 27 weeks ago. There were 498 cases reported by students, 258 of which were students living or learning on campus, and the other 240 learning remotely. Of the 259 cases reported by faculty/staff members, 115 were working on campus while the remaining 144 were working from home.
