@peterdrake In a perfect world I'd say to bar people with preexisting conditions from attending physically, force students to remain on campus for the entire semester, and force all profs 44 and up to teach their classes live from home, but I recognize that that's not feasible (or more honestly nobody wants to do that lol)

@peterdrake Hmm, here is what they did:

Having students be on campus but do online classes isn't something I'd considered before...
