On Tuesday, Brandeis became the latest local college to announce the cancellation of fall sports due to the ongoing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
“The department considered all options and planned extensively for ways for us to be able to compete this season,” Brandeis athletic director Lauren Haynie told students in an email. “Based on the federal, state and campus information and guidelines that we have in place today, the decision to not participate in fall intercollegiate athletics was ultimately made with the health, safety and well-being of our student-athletes, coaches and staff members as our top priority.
