Opinion | I'm a college senior returning to campus. While my school's pandemic plan is strong, it fails to answer the most critical question I have about the year. By PorterRBowman.
If they do this, they must also have a plan for closing back down.Porter Bowman is a senior at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesThis spring, American colleges and universities acted in an abundance of appropriate caution. In March, they moved classes online and sent most of their students home often without a single known case of COVID-19 present on their campuses.
If colleges commit to creating a safe and thorough framework to return students to campus, I feel that creating opportunities for residential education is crucial for many students who seek to live and learn away from home. This may have been expected. First, UNC did not test every student upon arrival on campus, as many other colleges including Middlebury, have pledged to do. Second, with the high percentage of its students living off campus, the ability to enforce physical distancing guidelines was to be a tall task to begin with.
Importantly, this threshold would give students more information to weigh the risks of returning to campus and paying tuition, room, and board fees. Every college is already dealing with the difficulties of developing its own reopening plans based on size, location, and financial situation. Students are also already facing severe academic, social, and extracurricular interruptions if they return to campus.
