My guess is there will be mandatory testing for students wanting to return, along with heavy disease surveillance. I also suspect even places claiming "normal operation" will not actually be normal — certain things will be virtual and other things not. There will likely be some reshuffling of teaching assignments too.
I noticed also (former professor) that my institution is now heavily incentivizing early retirement for those getting close to qualifying, and are not shy about linking it to coronavirus.
Finally, I think a lot of social distancing guidelines apply technically in many situations with lectures, etc.
It will be an interesting semester.

Probably the only way for young bloods to get tenure. Kidding.

I would think many professors will ask for remote teaching option even if campuses reopen? With office hours held outdoors?
I am a product of University of California system and many of my lower level classes had hundreds or students. I barely got to see the professor up close so maybe this remote video teaching may even been a better option. :)
