NEWMAC Presidents Council’s Statement on Winter Sports

Westwood, MA — The NEWMAC Presidents Council has continued to monitor the effects of COVID-19 on our institutions and community during the fall semester and remain steadfast that the health and safety of students, faculty, staff and greater community remain paramount and the focus of our concerns. Due to the shift in academic calendars, specifically the later start than normal of the second term and the majority of institutions imposing restrictions of both visitors on campus and travel off campus in an effort to reduce the potential spread and exposure of COVID-19, the Presidents have unanimously decided to suspend conference play and championships for winter sports. This includes men's and women's basketball and men’s and women’s swimming and diving.
