(AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File)RALEIGH, N.C. As waves of schools and businesses around the country are cleared to reopen, college towns are moving toward renewed shutdowns because of too many parties and too many COVID-19 infections among students. But the council was nevertheless worried that college students sharing dorms, bathrooms and showers could become super-spreaders and bring the virus off campus, council chair George Handley said. The outbreaks since students began returning to campus in the past few weeks have heightened tensions between colleges and their towns and led to recriminations between local politicians and university officials. Fueled in part by clusters where college students are returning to classes, Kansas has had its highest seven-day increase in coronavirus cases. Laura Kelly said outbreaks on college campuses and fraternities and sororities are at least a factor in the surge.

Some universities are reconsidering plans to hold in-person classes or implementing new testing regimes. Oyeronke Popoola, a 17-year-old freshman living near two COVID-19 clusters, was taking a mix of online and in-person classes. Holland said she wants other colleges to learn from the Chapel Hill students who participated in large, maskless gatherings. The campus currently has 270 people in isolation due to contacts, symptoms or positive tests, including 51 students living on campus, Plowman said. In Flagstaff, Arizona, Vice Mayor Adam Shimoni said he would like the University of Northern Arizona to cancel in-person classes for the semester.
