Mount Holyoke College just shut down for the semester.
How far behind is UMass? 55,000 students told to get out of dodge by Friday?
That will be fun to watch.
I suspect shutting down schools will be the norm, at least until the fall. Our local school, UCSD, just announced “Starting in Spring Quarter, all lecture and discussion courses will be delivered remotely”. They had already encouraged remote teaching, but after Spring Break, it’s all classes. Of course this is NOT to protect the students, but to protect the faculty. Wouldn’t want the elite intellectual socialist professors to be infected. The students will still be on campus, doing labs with lab assistants, but at least they won’t be coughing on the faculty.
