Dear reader,
In this strangest of times, back to school looks different everywhere. In many districts, there may not be enough teachers. Public preschools are facing new challenges. Community colleges will need to adapt, while tribal colleges require more help than ever and there are early signs that Black college student enrollment 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. As always, we want to hear your perspectives and stories. Click reply to send an email to us.
