Abstract

When an emerging infectious disease outbreak occurs, such as COVID-19, institutions of higher education (IHEs) must weigh decisions about how to operate their campuses. These decisions entail whether campuses should remain open, how courses should be delivered (in-person, online, or a mixture of the two), and what safety plans should be enacted for those on campus. These issues have weighed heavily on campus administrators during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is still limited knowledge about how such decisions affect students’ enrollment decisions and campus safety in practice when considering compliance.
