Liz Willen Dear reader,

In this strangest of times, back to school looks different everywhere. In many districts, there may not be enough teachers ([link removed]) . Public preschools are facing new challenges ([link removed]) . Community colleges will need to adapt ([link removed]) , while tribal colleges ([link removed]) require more help than ever and there are early signs that Black college student enrollment ([link removed]) could be on the decline.

Some of these coronavirus consequences were expected, others are surprising. And one was entirely predictable: the virus’s spread on college campuses. Last week, as some colleges were sending students home amid a surge in cases, I spoke with quarantined students in Iowa and elsewhere who wondered why their campuses opened in the first place.
