While ECU administration anticipated coronavirus cases cropping up on campus, Interim Chancellor Ron Mitchelson said that the university had seen a 'greater spike' than expected.

Thursday that it would move all its undergraduate classes online for the remainder of the fall semester, citing an alarming increase in cases and students who were being placed in quarantine or isolation. Chancellor Randy Woodson cast the majority of blame on off-campus activities, like large house parties.

"This is a very disappointing thing for us," Woodson said during a press briefing Thursday."We worked hard, the faculty and the staff, all summer long, to get ready to reopen.

But we've seen behaviors off campus that, frankly, are inconsistent with our community standards and have had an impact on our ability to go forward.
