The guide emphasizes that institutions will have to carefully consider whether it’s worthwhile for students and employees to return to campus during the coronavirus crisis. “If the benefits of return do not make the risk worthwhile — for example if the quality of instruction is significantly degraded due to COVID-19 protective measures — then it may be inadvisable” to reopen, the authors write.
Ensuring their institutions can safely hold in-person classes and other activities should be a priority for college leaders, the guide notes.
