I read the letter posted by shirley1929 from the OU president and that's not how I interpreted his words - here's a direct quote from their president:

"After careful deliberation, our intention (boldface is mine) is to return to in-person educational operations on all three campuses by this fall..."

"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 live in the epicenter of Covid-19 so I may respond a bit more strongly to re-opening schools - I see how terrifyingly quickly it can spread in dense populations and schools by their very nature are extremely dense even if in a small town like OU. Thanks for posting the letter!
