What's this?

Very good source said today major university says no classes for 18 months


Not publicly, not yet. But (and I'm in CO) coworker said provost told him that unless something changes with vaccine or effective treatment, unlikely to have students back on campus for 18 months. This is a major state university. They have more liability issues than average companies. Kids come back from all over the country and world and C19 breaks out and parents go nuts. Makes me wonder what they are investing right now in online capabilities.
