American is reopening, I would file them under hybrid I guess as all classes will be offered online (whether you return to campus or not) but some will have a f2f component as well.
@Mom270 We are curious about Rutgers, too. The latest we heard is that an announcement is expected in early July.
Thanks, bearpanther. Based on your information, American U. will be shifted to the “primarily or entirely online” category.
Rutgers’ “Executive Vice President for Strategic Planning and Operations,” Antonio Calcado, publicly stated that Rutgers will only"return to 35%" on-campus “for some time.” Rutgers will also be placed into the “primarily or entirely online” category.
Brigham Young U.'s president announced it will pursue a “hybrid” model" and so BYU goes into the “neither/nor” category.
Seton Hall U. intends to be open and primarily in-person.
An update from Santa Clara U’s President O’Brien that confirms the original intention to re-open and offer primarily in-person classes:
“[Santa Clara U. has] a lot of space. We will make our campus low-density to comply with public health requirements. … Here, our ongoing commitment to smaller class sizes is helpful: at present, the average undergraduate class has fewer than 22 students, and 78% of our undergraduate classes have fewer than 30 students.”
UPDATED again, Thurs 25 June 10:15, with new status for American U. and updates for Rutgers, Brigham Young U., and Seton Hall.

Bowdoin’s president announced June 22 that Bowdoin will be almost entirely online.
The only exceptions will be first-year students, transfers, and a very small number of senior honors students who cannot pursue their pre-approved projects online and require access to physical spaces on campus, and can do so under health and safety protocols.". All 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-year Bowdoin students will be required to stay home and take all their instruction online.
UPDATED again, Thurs 25 June 10:40, with new status for Bowdoin College as “primarily or entirely online” and for Virginia Tech as falling into the “neither/nor”, “hybrid” category.

https://www.bc.edu/content/bc-web/sites/reopening-boston-college/students#health_and_safety I would add Boston College to the Hybrid model list as it states that large lectures will be delivered remotely.
Lafayette will be reopening.
fall2020.lafayette.edu
Hamilton is reopening.
Muhlenberg reopening:
Starting a week early, ending at Thanksgiving. Installing hands free tech in all bathrooms. To de-densify campus, possibly extending the commuter limits, allowing more students off campus, using a hotel. Students who live together in rooms, suites, apts will be treated as family units. Classes in person, combo, or all online.
I understand why you classified American as primarily online, but they are opening the campus to all freshman and some amount of other students, dining will be open to some extent, and some classes will have a f2f component.
My S is moving back to DC to live off campus as at least 1/2 his classes have already announced they will be meeting f2f 1x per week or every other week.
Penn will reopen under a hybrid model. Freshman, sophomores, and transfers are guaranteed housing in the College House system. Juniors and seniors will be housed on campus, as space allows, and off campus in university-leased housing. All students will be tested for COVID-19 when they first arrive on campus.
https://fall-2020-planning.upenn.edu/announcement/fall-semester-plans
Thanks to all for the updates.
Have moved Hamilton and Lafayette (a good day for Revolutionary War heroes and their fans!) into the “plan to open to on-campus instruction” category along with Muhlenberg College.
Boston College and UPenn are moved into the “neither/nor,” “hybrid” category.

An observation: of ca. 150 selective colleges and universities that have announced publicly their plans for the fall, close to 70% will be “open” defined as offering primarily in-person, on-campus instruction.
Public universities are somewhat more likely than average to be open to primarily in-person instruction, and private colleges and universities somewhat less likely than average.
Super-elite/most selective universities are significantly more likely than average to be primarily online this fall.
In other words, a significantly high percentage of our nation’s most expensive, prestigious and exclusive universities have opted-- in opposition to the overwhelming preference of other selective US colleges and universities-- for a primarily remote learning model which nearly everyone would view as inferior to in-person instruction at less prestigious colleges.
And which everyone would agree is not worth the many thousands of $$$ per credit hour which they are going to charge the students’ families for such distance learning courses.
Make of that what you will.
Possible explanations for this disparity are:
-
randomness ie chance - perhaps the sample set isn’t large enough for this anomaly to be significant;
-
superior knowledge of COVID on the part of these elites’ presidents and their advisors;
-
political differences between the states in which these (predominantly northeastern and Californian) schools are located and the politics prevailing in most of the states where the “open” colleges and universities are located;
-
in the words of a recent US president, “because they can.”
to this poster explanations # 1-3 above seem extremely unlikely, but YMMV
Hi, Sarah Lawrence weighs in as of today:
https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/fall-2020/
Per the above, Sarah Lawrence College is following the same model as Bowdoin, with only
first-year students, transfers, and a very small number of other students allowed on campus and all others taking instruction online.

Cornell will be primarily in-person with some classes online. Interestingly, Cornell did a simulation and an analysis which resulted in the counterintuitive finding that the rate of infection would be significantly HIGHER if students lived off-campus and took their classes entirely online rather than live on campus and have primarily in-person instruction. The difference is that most cases of infection inside the university are expected to come from contact with people OUTSIDE of the university community.
Cornell’s School of Operations Research and Information Engineering conducted the study - key conclusion here:
“Outside infections from Tompkins County are predicted to be a significant source of cases. Testing every 5 days is sufficient to keep these imported cases from growing into large epidemics, but even low prevalence (e.g., 0.1%) creates a steady stream of imported cases, each of which then creates 2-3 more cases on campus before we catch the cluster. Over the course of a semester, outside infection can dominate returning students as a disease source. Measures that would reduce outside prevalence, especially among those that interact most closely with the Cornell community, are likely to also improve on-campus health outcomes and reduce quarantine needs.”
Clark U. in Massachusetts, Emory U., Lehigh U., Michigan Tech, Northern Arizona U., and Northern Michigan U. will also be mostly in-person, with some online classes.
Drexel U., Occidental College and U. of Pittsburgh will follow the hybrid “neither/nor” model.
U. Mass - Amherst will be primarily online, though the university is prepared to allow a large number of students to live on campus if they prefer – perhaps following the logic of the Cornell ORIE study, above, that it’s likely safer to live on campus than off.
