Trinity Western's Aramaic DSS conference is canceled

PRUDENT: Canadian universities plan for video lectures, remote exams if coronavirus epidemic worsens (Joe Friesen, Globe and Mail). So far these are just contingency plans. But buried in the article is this, which I had not heard before:

Trinity Western University in Langley, B.C., announced Thursday that it’s cancelling a planned conference on the Dead Sea scrolls, scheduled for late March.

I noted the conference as upcoming here.
