Purdue President Mitch Daniels floats plans to reopen campus for fall 2020, saying coronavirus "poses close to zero lethal threat" to young people.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Nothing beats the campus experience at Purdue University, not even the coronavirus. That’s what officials at the Indiana university are hoping anyway, with President Mitch Daniels floating plans to reopen campus for in-person classes in the fall while saying the COVID-19 virus “poses close to zero lethal threat” to young people.
College upended: Colleges scrambled to react to the coronavirus. Now their very existence is in jeopardy. Story continuesIn his letter, Daniels outlined a number of “preliminary” practices that would allow the school to reopen in August, most of them aimed at keeping the university’s younger population separate from older demographic groups that are more at risk from the virus. “Literally, our students pose a far greater danger to others than the virus poses to them,” he wrote.Reaction to Daniels’ announcement has been mixed.
“I’m a bit surprised the decision came so early,” Adler said. “That being said, if it’s going to be done, it needs to be done very carefully, and more than likely Purdue will need to make significant modifications to its day-to-day operations.”
