California State University’s chancellor told CNBC that plans for a mostly virtual fall semester were made due to fear of a second wave of coronavirus cases.
“This has been very hard to do, and I hope I’m wrong, to be honest,” CSU’s Timothy White said in an interview that aired Thursday on “Worldwide Exchange.” “But we needed to be prepared to go in this direction.”
“Most of the experts, epidemiologists and the science and the data that informs our decision-making indicates that there might be an even larger wave in the fall than the one we’re just currently getting to be on the back side of,” he added.
