The student centers are still open. The dorms are still open. The libraries are still open. Food service is still open. Most buildings are still open. Many students are still there along with lower paid non-essential staff. This appears to be reckless, hazardous, and socially irresponsible. It would be one thing if all the people there were hunkered down and staying exclusively on campus, but that is not the case. Surrounding bars in Oregon are still open and college students love to party.
