Daniels prefaced these ideas by saying quote: "the approaches below are preliminary, meant to be illustrative of the objectives we will pursue.

View them as examples, likely to be replaced by better ideas as we identify and validate them."

Those ideas include testing all students for both infection and immunity before they return.

Special on-campus housing will be designated for students who do get infected to stay in while they recover..

Daniels also wrote about the reasons for this approach.
