[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 738022, member: 1199"] You seem to misunderstand the reason for canceling in person classes. The students are not going to stay on campus in large numbers with no classes. This why NCSU saying kids could stay in campus residence halls if they wished was so bizarre. If the students/families want to get residence and meal plan refunds, they have to act right away (today at NCSU and by Tuesday or Wednesday at ECU). ECU is close enough to Oriental that some grad students live in Oriental and commute to ECU for classes and labs. For them, the campus will suddenly be much safer. I do not blame 18-24 year old students for behaving like 18-24 year old students. The reopening plans that depended on them behaving differently is the reason we are seeing the COVID clusters around college campuses. Having those young people return home will let the campus recover somewhat. But, the damage has been done to the reputations of these schools. All in the name of football. The NCAA and ADs at the D1 programs have denied that their athletes are any different from other students. They say some play in the band or go chess club, others play sports. Keeping football players on campus right now is terrible PR for the student-athlete model they have promoted for decades. At some point it is going to crash completely as a result of the decision to play football this fall. Now is probably a good time. [/QUOTE]
