Texas colleges ramp up coronavirus travel restrictions cancellations
Rice University announced Tuesday morning that it is suspending all university-sponsored student travel and spring break trips to foreign countries until the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lifts travel restrictions related to coronavirus. Sponsored travel for faculty to countries that are listed on the CDC’s restricted list have also been suspended, according to a release sent by the university’s crisis management advisory committee. Rice created a travel registry that requires all students, faculty and staff who have gone outside the United States to document their international travel. The response comes as universities across the state and the country prepare campuses for the potential arrival or spread of the contagious virus. The CDC has already issued guidance for higher education institutions to plan, prepare and respond to COVID-19.

Those test results are expected by the end of the week. Other Texas colleges have taken similar precautions — restricting travel, suspending trips and requiring students and university employees to self-quarantine...
