Taking a step back: US colleges returning to online classes

The Associated Press

For some students, starting the term remotely is becoming routine — many colleges used the strategy last year amid a wave of cases. But some fear the latest shift could extend well beyond a week or two. The university is inviting students back to campus starting Monday, but classes will be held online until Jan. 18 as officials ramp up virus testing and isolate any infected students. The school has more than doubled its isolation space and moved up the deadline for a new booster shot requirement by three weeks because of omicron.

So far, more than 70 colleges across 26 states are starting the term online, and others say they are considering it. Many making the move now use quarter systems that start earlier than those with semesters. “We think about it as rebuilding our bubble,” he said. “It gives us a chance to reset things and then hopefully be off and running.”

“As we move into this endemic phase of the pandemic, our job is to continue to control COVID effectively, not let COVID control us,” Ken Henderson, chancellor and senior vice president for learning, said in a message to the campus.

Close schools and colleges but keep the bars and restaurants open. Makes sense.
