Any strategy that relied on 18 - 22 year olds who have been cooped up in their home for 6 months to not go out and party was delusional.  You almost wonder if large universities set this up to fail, but give themselves an out to blame the students for the failure.  If they had announced from the beginning that they were going online only and school-from-home, a substantial proportion of students would have deferred, costing universities dearly.  So, they announce that they are going to hold in person classes, but then when students invariably due what students are going to do, cancel in person classes and claim that it is the fault of the students for going out partying.

True.  And they’d be out partying at home as well.  Without question a vexing problem. But I ain’t gonna blame the kids. Kids are kids
