Dunn extending Spring Break to the 22nd. Classes from the 23rd and on will be offered online. Confusing if this means that classes are cancelled indefinitely? Article states that Dunn said students can return on the 23rd to resume studying, and research?

Okay, I'm an idiot. Re-read the release, it does make sense now.

@rabidsaluki I'll translate: Stay on break; mingle with thousands of strange kids from all over; comeback ready to type.

I have a feeling this will be the final nail in the coffin for several of them...

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the content of professor lectures go online and get leaked across the internet?  Curious how many professors will want the content of those lectures leaked?  The ones that stick to the lesson plans should be ok but the political content will come under scrutiny.

This isn't good at all.  Please tell me our spring breakers weren't allowed back on campus.

Up to 50% of a group of college kids going on spring break infected.

I think SIU has 2-3 cases on campus from people traveling down from Chicago.
