NORTH ADAMS â The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts will send students home and shift to remote learning after a surge in COVID-19 cases among resident students.
The college announced Thursday that it would move classes online starting Monday and close dorms for the semester April 11.
Since March 22, the college has identified 28 positive cases through campus testing, according to MCLA President James Birge. The cases appear to be clustered in residence halls, he said, with more than 6 percent of resident students now COVID-19-positive and 18 percent in total either isolated or quarantined.
Birge told The Eagle that the rise in cases was a result of social activity in residence halls and off campus.
