As you may know, the University of Washington made the decision this past Friday to move all of its classes online until the end of the winter quarter due to the spread of the Coronavirus, making it the first campus to do so. Stanford followed suit by moving classes online for the remaining two weeks of the winter quarter. Harvard has taken more drastic measures, telling students not to return from spring break and moving classes online until further notice (potentially through the end of the academic year). Closer to home, Vanderbilt cancelled classes for the rest of this week and is moving classes online through at least March 30. On March 11, Emory University decided to extend Spring Break for an additional week and then move to online learning for the rest of the semester.
