Am I the only one thinking it would be suicide for these universities to remain closed in the fall?

Regardless, UChicago is at an an advantage due to the quarter system. They have a month longer than everyone else to worry about this. Even if other schools continue with remote out of an abundance of caution, a lot can happen between end of Aug. and end of Sept.

So far only Boston U openly says that it may consider cancelling in person classes for the rest of 2020. Everyone else is saying they are considering all options.

In the end, we are back to square one: the virus decides. If Remdesivir ends up to be extremely effective and turns COVID-19 into just a common flu (see link below), then no one would dream of cancelling fall classes. But if COVID-19 mutates and turns into a rampant killer virus, then even the entire 2020-2021 will be in jeopardy.
