Cornell University says it is going to welcome students back to campus in September for a combination of in-person and online instruction, a decision made after researchers argue that they believe an online semester at the university would lead to more CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus cases than an in-person semester.
“The key consideration in our decision to reopen is public health,” Cornell President Martha Pollack said in a Tuesday statement announcing the reopening of the Ithaca, New York campus. The Ivy League school has emptied on-campus housing and shifted to online learning since March 28.
