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.

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...
