BLOOMINGTON — Indiana University announced Friday that masks will be optional at all campuses beginning March 4.

The university will continue to require masks in health care settings and research spaces.
IU has campuses in Bloomington, Indianapolis, Richmond, Kokomo, Gary, South Bend, New Albany, Fort Wayne and Columbus.
