Many college officials are eager to resume in-person instruction. However, more than half of surveyed instructors (55%) said they expect most classes will be entirely virtual during the summer term. Around 14% of instructors anticipate their institutions will experiment with some in-person classes, while 15% expect most classes to be held in-person.
Earlier this week, California State University, which enrolls nearly half a million students across 23 campuses, became the first major university system to commit to mostly virtual instruction in the fall.
