The fall semester might begin even more differently than expected this year for undergraduates on several University of Minnesota campuses.

University of Minnesota President Joan Gabel announced Friday that she’s proposing that three of the U’s campuses — in the Twin Cities, Rochester and Duluth — begin classes online for at least the first two weeks of school this fall.

The university's Board of Regents is expected to take up Gabel's proposal in a special meeting Monday morning.
