Summary
Some institutions, like the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, plan to screen thousands of people daily using new federally approved tests that rely on saliva rather than invasive nose swabs.Others, like Notre Dame or Purdue, required students to test negative for the virus before they were even allowed to set foot on campus. As it is, universities’ testing plans are changing frequently.Testing students before they came to campus was a crucial part of the University of Notre Dame’s plan to launch in-person fall classes. Administrators blamed the outbreak on students who went to off-campus parties.To slow the spread, the university paused in-person classes for two weeks and increased testing of random people on campus. What went wrong:How Notre Dame's back-to-campus plan unraveledPurdue University had planned to test students only before they came back, and then if they reported symptoms. The situation was the same for the University of the South in Tennessee, which now will require students to take a test on campus before they can move into their dorms.Others plan to test their communities aggressively and require compliance for anyone who wants to be on campus.
