My personal view is that it's still too early to be making these kinds of decisions, but if universities are going to have fall on-campus enrollment, eliminating all fall breaks to reduce nationwide travel, and pushing the schedule to start as early in the summer as possible and end as early in the late fall as possible, makes a lot of sense.

I agree this makes a lot of sense. COVID is more likely to be a lot worse in December than early September so may as well get them on campus and classes finished before the seasonal uptick happens in Q4.  I wonder if Stanford is considering a similar approach.
