With coronavirus cases hovering at near-record highs, a growing number of Ohio colleges and universities are rethinking on-campus plans for the fall.

Miami University has reversed its decision for an on-campus start, opting for online only. Ohio University is taking a phased-in approach.

Ohio State will reopen, but students and faculty must sign a Buckeye pledge to return to campus, undergo random testing, and wear masks.

Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, what fall semester will look like on college campuses in Ohio.
