More than inconvenienced: Introduction

  • In March 2020, U.S. higher education institutions abruptly and nearly universally shut down college campuses and shifted to online education, in recognition that campuses were high-risk environments for COVID-19 transmission.
  • This response was considered a temporary and precautionary measure, but when the late summer 2020 came around, institutions realized that they needed to make major changes for the fall semester, either remaining purely online, implementing a hybrid configuration of classes, or a full return to campus for in-person instruction.
  • College students’ lives have been significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the major health risks that this population already faces are even more severe now.
