Dean of the College Rakesh Khurana said in a Monday interview he has âa great deal of confidenceâ that upperclassmen invited to return to campus for the spring semester will adhere to Covid-19 residential rules.
Harvardâs housing plan for the spring semester â which welcomes roughly half of all undergraduates to fill 3,100 beds on campus â prioritizes seniors and currently enrolled juniors, rather than freshmen as it did in the fall.
Students living on campus during the fall semester were required to sign a community compact assuring their compliance with social distancing and other safety guidelines, a requirement which will continue this spring. The College also developed a Community Council â composed of student volunteers, faculty, and staff members â to enforce the compact.
