Cornell Says It's Safer To Bring Students Back To Campus, Will Resume Classes September 2

Stephen Buka, professor of epidemiology at Brown University agrees with Cornell’s logic: “If they are able to effectively implement testing, quarantine and contact tracing on the Cornell campus, the assumption seems totally warranted,” he told Forbes. Nadia Abuelezam, an epidemiologist at Boston College, told Forbes she is skeptical of Cornell’s logic: “Some of the assumptions that the model makes are quite optimistic, especially the ability of campuses to do comprehensive and frequent testing, the complete adherence of all faculty, students, and staff to procedures and the required quarantine capacity of college campuses.”
