Last week, students at James Madison University in Virginia were told to go back home, some just days after arriving, when it became clear that the positivity rate was rising too rapidly to control. California State University, Chico also announced last week plans to close residence halls and move in-person classes to online after a spike in cases among 18- to 24-year-olds in the surrounding area. And officials at Indiana University at Bloomington recommended that all of the university's 40 Greek houses close their chapters because of increasing positivity rates. Administrators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill told undergraduates last month to return home less than a week after moving into residence halls and starting classes….
more than a third of the country's 5,000 campuses are giving it a go despite a series of high-profile failures and despite the most obvious obstacle of all: counting on students to change their behavior.
More than 1,200 students at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa have tested positive for COVID-19 since the campus opened last month. The University of Iowa, Illinois State University and the University of South Carolina each reported more than 600 cases.
According to a survey by the New York Times of 1,500 colleges and universities, officials have recorded more than 26,000 cases of the coronavirus at more than 750 institutions since the pandemic began. As it pertains to reopenings this academic year, more than a dozen universities--most of them large public schools in the South--have reported more than 500 cases each
