H1N1 Influenza Hits the Plains

The Auburn University Department of Health and Safety is planning for the possibility of increased cases of the illness during the 2009-2010 academic year. The Auburn University Medical Clinic has seen nearly 15 to 20 cases per day of H1N1 flu and 60 to 90 cases per day of other respiratory illness.
As the H1n1 Influenza continues to take a toll on students and faculty of Auburn University, class sizes keep getting smaller, and Auburn students and staff remain concerned for their health and the effect absences will have on this semester's curriculum.
Teachers have sent out contingency plans to students stating: if class absences continue, alternative teaching plans may go into effect such as on-line lectures and student-submitted quizzes.
