Cornell 2020-21 plans

The goal was to get them home before the weather got bad in the cold states and now with 3 weeks left they might make it.

I thought the goal was to avoid having kids go home for Thanksgiving and come back again with a bunch of new infections.  At some point they have to go home at the end of the semester, but at least you can avoid an extra roundtrip in November/December.

Correct.  One of many reasons that so many of us are grateful for your continued interest in eLynah.

MBA students cause recent COVID-19 spike at Cornell

Cornell University officials say 63 students tested positive for COVID-19 over the past three days and attributed most of the positive cases to MBA students who attended St. Patrick's Day social gatherings.

A letter from Cornell President Martha Pollack and Provost Michael Kotlikoff stated there were at least two St. Patrick's day gatherings where many MBA students did not wear masks and follow social distancing measures in the university's behavioral compact.

The Johnson School MBA program will move to remote instruction for at least one week, according to the letter. In addition, all MBA students are told to only leave their residences for food and testing, to get tested every other day, and to cooperate with contact tracing and isolation/quarantine directives.

St. Patrick's day was March 17 - doesn't take an epidemiologist to to figure this out!

Of course it was MBAs.  We don't have a Divinity School.
