"University officials have pinned the surge of infections to an off-campus party, where students didn't wear masks and social distancing wasn't practiced. "

Wow. Didn't see that coming....cough, cough.

I guess that all students will have to attend out-person classes, whatever that may be. Good luck with that.

The title of this thread says Notre Dame cancels in-person classes but the article says Notre Dame suspends in person classes. Which is it? Cancel is not the same as suspension.

It's both.
"The University of Notre Dame abruptly canceled all in-person classes on Tuesday evening and moved to fully online instruction for at least two weeks"

Haven't heard anything bad so far. Unlike the other triangle ACC schools.... Only freshman and sophomores are doing in-person classes this semester... Juniors and Seniors are doing remote classes. Also...its one thing to send kids home from State and that other school.. as 80-82% of their students are from NC. I would guess 85% of the Duke kids are out of state... obviously a bigger deal to send them home.
