Iowa universities see 2,000 fewer students this summer
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Roughly 2,000 fewer students are taking courses from Iowa’s public universities this summer than last after the COVID-19 pandemic forced instruction into online-only mode in mid-March — where it remains. The institutions plan to bring students back to campus for a “hybrid” fall semester — some in-person instruction, with larger classes staying online — but this summer’s 2,226-student enrollment drop could serve as a preview of losses administrators project for the academic year.
