They're all having the same problems. Parties, not enough compliance with restrictions etc. I'm interested in what is happening at the larger universities when students have symptoms/get sick and how that is being handled. I am seeing becoming a problem at several universities. There is lots of confusion re where to get tested and what happens if a positive result occurs.[/quote]

I suspect there is some pushback from residential life staff when these outbreaks get larger than a handful of students.

University Health Services exists, and they are able to conduct testing and maybe have a nurse staff a phone line students call for advice.  But it is probably falling to res life to find ways to get meals to quarantined and isolated students.  And they are having to deal with tons of questions about logistical concerns.  If every day there are 100+ new cases that's a LOT of extra work for residential life to be dealing with right around the start of the school year, when their other work requirements haven't gone away.  I highly doubt and extra 20 residential life employees were hired in anticipation of the extra workload.[/quote]
