Colleges Ask Students to Leave Campuses

A roundup of how the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on higher education.
Amid growing concerns about the potential spread of coronavirus, colleges across the country are telling students to go home.
Harvard University, in Massachusetts, was one of a rapidly growing number of colleges that announced on Tuesday it would transition from in-person to online instruction and ask students to depart campus in an effort to help contain the spread of the new coronavirus, which causes a respiratory illness known as COVID-19. Harvard instructed students not to return after spring break, which starts this weekend, and said students would complete their coursework remotely "until further notice."
