"This pause in face-to-face undergraduate instruction will give us time to monitor the steadily climbing cases of COVID-19," Dr. Jeffrey Coben, associate vice president of health affairs and dean of the School of Public Health, said in a statement."There is increasing evidence that crowded indoor gatherings, such as those that occurred over the weekend, can serve as super-spreader events.
The university said that it suspended 29 students Sunday amid"ongoing COVID-19 investigations" and that"additional sanctions are pending."prevent students from spreading the coronavirusCorey Farris, the dean of students at WVU, said students who had traveled home for the Labor Day weekend"and have their materials to learn remotely" should stay where they are, while students who did not travel should remain in Morgantown.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government's leading infectious disease expert, has urged colleges not to send students home if possible. "It's the worst thing you could do," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases,"When you send them home, particularly when you're dealing with a university where people come from multiple different locations, you could be seeding the different places with infection," he said.
Thanks to the constant fear-porn published by America’s fake news media.
In a school of 30,000 they have to shut it down because about 1% of the population tested positive and no one died. If we did this with the flu we would shutdown school every year.
HiMyNameIsSeton Can’t imagine why….
They must not have known a pandemic has been going on
Is the governor of Virginia (D) the one in the Klan outfit or black face? hypocrisy makes me laugh thanks Democrat party. Trump2020NowMoreThanEver
99.9999% of WVU students are consistently wearing masks. It's the few frat parties - frats that aren't recognized by WVU for past troubles - that are causing the spread. The school is doing the best it can to protect students and staff.
Aniclaudia back to online!
HiMyNameIsSeton Is John Sterling really 82?
Universities demanded students be tested before being allowed back on campus so of course there would be a 'spike' in cases. The REAL question is how many of those results were manipulated to insure campuses remain closed? WakeUpAmerica
Do not suspend classes . No one is sick

I give it a month and all the campuses will be shut down
They never should have forced the students back to campus. Higher learning? Not in West Virginia, they continue to be dumb as fence posts there.
SpiroAgnewGhost What is the definition of insanity, again? This will keep happening, over and over and over, right through Election Day. The pressure Trump puts on Republican governors to “open schools” without preparing for it is, well, insane (and ultimately self-defeating).
How many hospitalizations again?
The back and forth between in-person and online would have a bigger impact on my grades than just doing online. Universities are putting kids and the communities at risk for no reason, other than to presumably charge full tuition rates. Sickening. UMNews
The students are better off doing an online school only. Much cheaper, why pay for a campus you dont use.
After the election, everything can go back to normal. This is a way to scare students into not voting for President Trump. The President wants students to go back to school the chances of them getting seriously sick is small. The truth.
In India our govt is forcing students to sit for national entrance exams and opening schools & colleges from 1st Oct, amidst such high cases due 2 corona and that 2nd wave has already started here. Govt doesn't care for the future generation.
They made sure they got the full tuition first 💰
That means a lower price for classes right?

realDonaldTrump and Boston continue to lie about COVID19 in order to gain political points . They do not care for the sanctity of the lives of the American people. 194k dead and will reach 400k by years end.
When did school start there? I guess tuition checks have cleared.
It will be interesting to see how many more colleges will follow suit. My college sends out weekly emails updating us on cases and whatnot. There has been a spike, but they’re attributing it to more tests I think. Stay safe everyone!
vxx46 Wereldwijd, die bangmakerij hè!
Oh surprise. This is what happens when you don’t listen to the doctors.
Why can’t the US suppress the infection... I thought you’re the best...
This democratic HOAX is sure got a lot of traction. I'm sure it will just disappear . everything is fine. We are turning the corner. 👍🏿
Great now I can be home more with your mom
Why even open up in the first place? It’s sick just to even hear this happening across the Nation!
So, what will be the reduction in tuition for not receiving in person instruction?
Here we go
This is racist.
