In March, when colleges and universities shut their campuses due to the coronavirus outbreak, many students, faculty, and administrators expected to return to campus in the fall.
Now, with the new semester looming, extensive in-person classes are becoming less likely, as schools pivot to online or hybrid instruction (allowing some students on campus but holding many classes remotely). Harvard, Princeton, Rutgers, Emory and California State universities are among those that announced that most classes would be held online.
