Before now I would agree with you. From what has been reported schools in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Indiana are staying open after large outbreaks. These are elementary and high schools, so maybe it'll be different with universities.

Universities have a brand to uphold and students go to them by choice versus lower education, so I could see there being a difference due to that.
