Purdue is the first major college to plan to reopen in the fall. “We don’t want to sit and wait and watch for two months,” Purdue University President Mitch Daniels said.
. 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.
Daniels, a two-term Republican governor in Indiana, was appointed as president of Purdue in 2012. Under his tenure, tuition has been frozen at the public land-grant institution in West Lafayette, Indiana, and enrollment has surged — from 39,256 students in 2012 to just under 45,000 last fall.— puts Purdue in a strong position to consider reopening, Daniels said, but there’s no time to wait to start developing those plans.
“Mitch Daniels, leader of Purdue and the new Purdue South Bend high school, is willing to endanger our lives based on false information and an immoral valuing of economy over human life,” one Twitter user wrote.University Senate Chair Cheryl Cooky raised concerns about the potential risk for faculty and staff in light of warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about a second wave of coronavirus in the fall and winter.
“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.” Clemson has been holding classes online this semester, and the campus is partially closed until Aug. 8. Continuing with the online learning is also an option for the fall, along with a hybrid of online and in-person classes.
