With the fall semester wrapped up, some colleges did better than others keeping COVID-19 cases low on campus. In Columbia, South Carolina, officials at the private, historically Black Benedict College operated under the bubble concept. It’s an approach similar to the NBA and some other professional sports. Students are pretty much not allowed to leave campus, testing is done frequently and visitors are banned.
Benedict College President Roslyn Clark Artis says they had a total of 17 COVID-19 cases over the course of the 12-week semester that ended last month. She calls that a success and explains how it worked.
