Universities begin considering canceling in-person classes until 2021

A number of universities are beginning to consider the possibility that in-person classes may not resume until 2021.

Boston University has already canceled all"in-person summer activities" on its primary campus. But the school's coronavirus recovery plan includes protocols should officials deem it not safe to return for the fall semester.

President Robert A. Brown sounded hopeful that Boston University would allow students to return on the fall -- a"best-case scenario" -- and until then would focus its efforts on finding"the best and safest way" to do that. With classes moved online, spring break canceled, summer jobs furloughed and commencement ceremonies postponed, students remained largely hopeful that the fall would bring an end to the uncertainty.Harvard, which was one of the first universities to send students home earlier this spring in a bid to"de-densify" its campus, is considering"lots of different scenarios" for the fall semester, President Lawrence S. Bacow said in an interview last week.
