UNC did this with no plan. They didn't test incoming students and they didn't attempt to decrease student density. Both Wake and Duke are requiring all students to test prior to arriving on campus and they both have taken major steps to reduce density - Wake has 65% of the rooms now as singles, and Duke has spaced out to the Washington Duke hotel and other buildings. These plans still may not work, but they are much better than no plan at all.
Duke is only allowing freshman and sophomores to live on campus. I definitely have noticed more people out in Durham with the students returning but nothing is really open.
Increase this man's positive reputationFuck duke.

UNC has done more than anyone. They have organized remote classes for athletes for decades.
As a parent of 2 kids at UNC, I find yesterday's "moving classes online" news to be a head-scratcher. 90% of my kids' classes this semester were already online only and about the same for their friends.
Also, the reported covid figures are likely grossly understated since MANY kids get tested off campus in order to avoid the quarantine dorm if infected.
UNC faculty just got skull-fucked with their class prep

Would have been interesting to let it run through UNC and see how many students ended up being hospitalized or died. Of course hugely inhumane and impossible, but interesting.

Still no news from 2&2
