[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were the first to cancel classes on March 5th. They are also the most prepared to continue online. I think they'll announce fall is online with a January 2021 reopening of campus. Why I think they have to punt fall opening is because there's no way they're going to be ready for orientation in June and July. Plus all these colleges have heavy international student enrollments. I see Stanford, MIT and Ivies announcing fall's closure on or around May 2nd -- then other universities will fall in line.

There isn't enough PPE even if you required masks for all kids. If you can't have groups of 50, how can you have kids in 100+ seat lectures and 500+ seat dining halls. Not to mention dorms with shared bathrooms. These colleges are risk adverse, they're not going to risk class action suits opening too early.[/quote]

I agree, but would guess the announcements will come a little later. I expect the majority of colleges and universities will be 90%+ online this fall. [/quote]
