杜克大学调整开学计划，限制大三、大四学生回校住宿

　　杜克大学开学计划译文：

　　随着北卡罗来纳州和美国新的COVID-19案件数量的增加，杜克大学正在调整秋季学期住宿部分的计划。

　　校长文森特·E·普莱斯(Vincent E. Price)在周日发给杜克大学学生，教职员工的信息中说，大学将在秋季将杜克大学提供的住宿限制为一年级学生，大二学生和因个人，学术或其他原因需要特殊住宿的学生。普莱斯补充说，大三、大四学生将在春季学期获得优先考虑，如果条件改善，一年级学生和二年级学生也将加入。

　　修改大学的2020年秋季计划的决定是在北卡罗莱纳州，特别是达勒姆州增加了COVID-19的基础上进行的，并且与领先的传染病专家和其他杜克大学专家进行了讨论，他们一直为Price和大学的公共卫生咨询工作提供建议与大流行有关的措施，包括全面的COVID-19测试计划，该计划将覆盖所有本科生和研究生。

　　普莱斯说，必须将学生住宿人口减少30%，以确保大学能够为学生和员工提供安全的环境。已经计划在校外生活的本科生以及研究生和专业学生，仍然可以在校内上课，尽管预计杜克大学的课程中有很大一部分将在线上提供。

　　普莱斯说：“计划的改变令我们所有人深感失望。” “我们在教室，公共休息室以及整个校园中在一起时所建立的联系和我们所创造的想法，使杜克大学成为了一个非同寻常的地方，今年秋天要让这些经历受到很大的限制是很困难的。

　　“与此同时，我们共同面临的挑战是暂时的，我们正在努力确保我们在今年秋天提供的杜克大学体验能够发挥我们非凡的潜力，并确保未来几年的杜克大学更加强大，更活跃的社区。”

　　With the growing numbers of new COVID-19 cases in both North Carolina and the country, Duke University is adjusting plans for the residential component of its fall semester.

　　In a message sent to Duke students, faculty and staff Sunday, President Vincent E. Price said the university will limit Duke-provided housing in the fall to first-year students, sophomores and students who require special accommodations because of personal, academic or other reasons. Juniors and seniors will receive priority for the spring semester, Price added, with first-year students and sophomores to join them if conditions improve.

　　The decision to revise the university’s Fall 2020 plans came amid an increase of COVID-19 in North Carolina and in Durham in particular, and following discussions with leading infectious disease experts and other Duke experts who have been advising Price and the university leadership on public health measures related to the pandemic, including a comprehensive COVID-19 testing program that will cover all undergraduate and graduate students.

　　Price said it was essential to reduce the student residential population by 30 percent to ensure that the university can provide a safe environment for students and employees. Undergraduates who are already planning to live off-campus, as well as graduate and professional students, will still be able to take classes on-campus, though it is expected that a significant proportion of Duke’s curriculum will be delivered online.

　　“This change in plans is deeply disappointing for all of us,” Price said. “The connections we make and the ideas we create when we are together in classrooms, commons rooms, and across campus are what make Duke such an extraordinary place, and it will be difficult to have those experiences significantly constrained this fall.

　　“At the same time, the challenges we face together are temporary, and we are working to ensure both that the Duke experience we are offering this fall lives up to our extraordinary potential and that the Duke of the years to come is an even stronger, more vibrant community.”
