The University of Arkansas released a statement on March 24, 2021 telling faculty and staff to plan for a 100 percent return to campus, and that "[f]aculty and students should expect a full return to face-to-face classes this fall." This was before the delta variant of COVID-19 arrived in Arkansas. Some students and faculty with disabilities are requesting accommodations to learn and teach remotely in light of the ongoing pandemic, but the university is denying that specific accommodation.
