OSU may be going there....and I'm sure they'd love a reason to take over all the frat houses on 14th-17th Ave across High St. from the main campus...

Matt Reed at IHE makes the case for avoiding a midsemester pivot, even if some magic occurs and the campus could reopen: https://insidehighered.com/blogs/confessions-community-college-dean/if-you-start-online-finish-online

A public community college can certainly make this call with confidence. A financially precarious private LAC may not be back for the spring if it does. That makes the decision more difficult, especially with the alternative outcome being kept out of the conversation.

That financially precarious private probably isn't going to make it to next fall regardless of what it does.

Apparently, even many small publics aren't guaranteed to make it: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/why-state-universities-have-no-other-choice-but-to-reopen/615565/

The solutions proposed are misguided and ignore the continuing demographic shifts, but the overall reasons for choosing face-to-face are explained well.

Towson takes the Notre Dame Hail Mary approach, except Towson is hoping for a miracle in a week.

I know you are all going to be shocked, but Towson didn't turn things around in one week and now they are fully online.

It's very disturbing to hear of so many schools opening and then shutting down within a couple of weeks.  They're incubating hundreds of cases and then sending them back to their homes all over the country.  It's almost as if they're trying to maximize the problem.
