KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The University of Missouri-Kansas City says it will begin bringing back faculty, staff and students to its two campuses in Kansas City starting next week following its shutdown during the coronavirus outbreak.

The university said Thursday in a news release that the campuses will open in three phases.

The first phase will begin Monday, when a small group of employees engaged in critical operations will be brought back through July 5.

The second phase will bring back senior administration and departmental leaders from July 6 through Aug. 2.

The final phase would bring back all remaining faculty, staff and students from Aug. 3-24, except for those with individual medical exemptions.
