I posted this as we care about Xavier(and other colleges/universities) and we care about college sports(especially basketball) and Mitch Daniels was an excellent governor of Indiana (put it on solid footing and welcomed many new plants and businesses) and and excellent president of Purdue(now a huge on line presence) and "we" can't totally give up on Opening in late August but can't even think about it unless we have extensive planning now. This is a good article and I don't see enough thinking about this. If not a real campus for X and UC by Labor Day Cincinnati will suffer greatly

Among the measures he proposed:

Spreading out classes across days and times to reduce their size;
More online instruction for on-campus students;
Allowing — or requiring — people more at risk to the virus to work remotely;
Pre-testing students and staff for infection and post-infection immunity and using the Purdue laboratory to ensure fast results;
Tracing contacts for those who test positive and asking contacts to self-quarantine for 14 days.

The Atlantic wrote a good piece on him freezing tuition at Purdue as well.

I had two daughters graduate from Purdue and currently have three grandsons and two granddaughters there. Another grandson graduated from there last year.It is a great school and was even before Mitch got there, but he has taken it to another level. He is an awesome leader and would have made a great President but his family did not want him to run. I am glad he is at Purdue.
