“On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Later, on March 11, the WHO made the assessment that COVID-19 was a global health pandemic. Measures taken by federal, state, and local officials to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses, resulting in an economic slowdown. The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused disruption in operations for institutions of higher education. In an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 on its campus, the University, in March 2020, suspended all in-person instruction and transitioned to online instruction for the balance of the spring semester and cancelled or converted to online all programs or activities that were slated for the remainder of the year. At the same time, the University made the decision to close all on campus housing with the exception of one apartment complex. This closure will remain in place for the spring of 2021. The University's plans for opening in fall 2021 continue to evolve. Howard Center provides off campus apartment style housing for graduate students, faculty, and upperclassman students, thus the outbreak of COVID-19 may adversely impact the ability of the Company to conduct its operations.”
