A few have reacted by moving classes online, while many more remain open, hoping to weather the outbreaks with social-distancing measures, testing, and quarantine.
Clearly, it wasn’t enough: 135 new cases were detected within the first week of campus activity. UNC said all instruction would move online beginning on Wednesday. Student newspaper the Daily Tar Heel noted in a recent editorial that there had been reports of parties throughout the weekend, and that university leadership “should have expected students, many of whom are now living on their own for the first time, to be reckless.
The University of Notre Dame announced it would try remote learning, after welcoming students back to campus for the start of the fall semester just one week earlier. As with UNC, coronavirus cases rose sharply days after Notre Dame’s reopening. Notre Dame’s president Reverend John Jenkins said that 146 students and one staff member had tested positive since August 3.
It's too big to fail-itus. If you don't open, colleges which are businesses don't get their money. If they open people get sick and die. Capitalism above life is not cut out to preserve life.
So this was about those tuition checks?
