"Most universities plan to bring students back to campus. But many of their teachers are concerned about joining them."

"College students across the country have been warned that campus life will look drastically different in the fall, with temperature checks at academic buildings, masks in half-empty lecture halls and maybe no football games. What they might not expect: a lack of professors in the classroom."
