KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Park University students and staff will be required to wear masks while in campus buildings at least through Sept. 7.

Shane Smeed, interim Park University president, said in a letter to the university community that the only exceptions are when:

  • Actively eating or drinking;
  • In a private office;
  • They have a documented exemption;
  • Outdoors.

Anyone on campus must follow the policy, regardless of vaccination status.

The mandate went into effect on Tuesday. Any changes to the policy will be made in September.
