Angelo State University Ending Mask Mandate

 

SAN ANGELO, TX – Angelo State President Ronnie Hawkins announced Wednesday that ASU will end its mask mandate beginning Monday.

The following is the letter from the President:

Ram Family,

As of Monday, Angelo State lifted our mask mandate and made masks optional everywhere on campus.

Yesterday, Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order prohibiting government entities from mandating or requiring mask wearing. Beginning May 21, local governments or officials that attempt to impose a mask mandate or impose a limitation inconsistent or conflicting with the Executive Order can be subject to a fine of up to $1,000.

Since the beginning of this pandemic, our top priority has been your health and well-being. If you choose to continue wearing a facial covering, please know your choice will be respected - as reflective of our Values.

With gratitude,

Ronnie D. Hawkins, Jr.
