It is just my personal opinion but if I was in a position to plan for the upcoming academic year in US, I'd recommend below.
- Start Fall semester with onsite classes.
- For those who wish to participate remotely for medical reasons or personal preference, they should be allowed to teach/learn remotely.
- But everyone (administration, profs, students, support staff, local town/city) should be prepared to have the teaching go virtual with the campus shutting down on a short notice.
- If Covid-19 reappears locally or surges again nationally, campus should close down.
I say at least start the upcoming semester in Fall 2020 with onsite classes, for the sake of human bonds to form between the students/professors. It may sound too unpredictable but I think having even one or two months of in person interaction would be beneficial for the incoming freshman class.
Also, dorm/parking/housing cost probably should be charged in monthly increments, not per semester, to prepare for possible shutdown of campus in the middle of a semester.
