Princeton University will move all lectures, seminars, and precepts online on March 23 and is encouraging students to stay home after spring break.
“While much remains unknown about COVID-19’s epidemiology and impact, our medical advisers tell us that we should proceed on the assumption that the virus will spread more broadly and eventually reach our campus. They also tell us that the best time to put in place policies to slow the spread of the virus is now, before we begin to see cases on our campus, rather than later,” Chris Eisgruber, president of the university, wrote in a letter to students, faculty, and staff members on March 9.
