As a quasi-ACC member, they now join UNC from yesterday:
Notre Dame is canceling in-person classes and moving them online for at least two weeks after seeing a spike in coronavirus cases. On Monday, one week after classes began, 80 students tested positive out of 418, or 19% of students tested.
The rash of cases has been linked to at least two off-campus parties, and the majority of students testing positive are senior undergraduates, mostly male, said school spokesman Paul Browne.
In remarks he was slated to deliver Tuesday afternoon, Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins is announcing that if the number of cases continues to climb, he could order students to leave campus and return home. He may decide to take that step before the two week period is over.
They're labeling a two-week shutdown, but given that the outbreaks were due to parties, I'm not sure what exactly they think they students are going to do during those two weeks. So this is almost certainly the end for the on-campus semester.
Wait and see what other schools do, and if the ACC makes any statements.
