[quote=Anonymous]The big rub is what happens in off-campus housing. The universities will NOT be testing or have any liability for the kids who are off campus. From my experience in DC, we are seeing GW and Georgetown students who are not allowed back on campus desperately trying to rent whole houses so they can do “virtual learning” while shacked up with their friends. We are seeing big upfront offers from their wealthy parents (ie, 12 months of rent paid upfront). But these houses will become COVID hot spots, as kids use the houses to party with their friends. It puts a huge amount of liability on the landlord. Schools like GW & Georgetown can wash their hands of the problem and say “We told them to stay home.” The off-campus housing scene is going to be the driver of the problems. Kids living on-campus will go off-campus to hang out with other classmen, bringing the virus back to campus. I predict most school will be 100% online by October 10.[/quote]
