@fl1234 I apologize if I made it sound like UF is only considering the finances. It’s looking at a lot of factors, but finances is one of them (as well as student/faculty/employee health, UF’s contingency plans, etc.).
I think UF is uniquely able to deal with this type of crisis. It’s a health science/welfare powerhouse. It can do all of the testing/tracing in-house.
A lot will also depend on students. Wearing mask, social distancing, etc.
It’s going to be a tough semester, for all involved. However, I know my son would gladly accept the challenge, if it gets him away from his parents. I think he’s already had enough of us.
