Sussex University’s Vice Chancellor, Adam Tickell, has emailed students this evening stating that unless they study degrees in Medicine, Teaching or Social Work, then they should not return to campus in the new year.
Unless students are living locally, they have been told that they “must not” travel back to their local university address until instructed to do so by the university.
In the same email, Tickell stated that the start of the second semester will most likely be online for the majority of students.

Earlier this week, Sussex University Vice Chancellor Adam Tickell and other university management were photographed gathering on campus without wearing face coverings, and appearing not to be socially distancing.
The university confirmed the gathering happened earlier this week, Monday 14 December, in celebration of the completion of East Slope student village. Tickell was pictured cutting a ribbon as he stands closely to another representative.
In both photographs, no face coverings were being worn and it appears they were standing closer than two metres apart.
