"Intention" is exactly what shirley1929 said - a gray area that leaves OU (and other schools) room to change their minds if things aren't vastly better by mid-summer. I think we'll get a sense of how things might go by watching states re-open, especially those with major cities and dense populations although there are many deaths in states with rural populations. And thanks for posting the letter!
You're welcome! I think everyone gets all excited that something is "happening" when it's not really. Not yet anyway.

That said, UT Austin has said that they expect to have a yes or no decision about on-campus operations by the end of June. Which I think is a fair timeline. https://president.utexas.edu/message...-fall-semester

Mizzou sent out a letter that got people all excited too. It's vague like the OU one is: https://chancellor.missouri.edu/news...-fall-classes/. "...we expect to return to in-person operations..."
