Summer is over and school is back in session. While some college campuses are reopening for a few classes, other universities are sticking to virtual classrooms. But with the start of the term comes a whole lot of challenges for students, professors and institutions.

Some schools reversed course on in-person classes. Others scrapped plans altogether, after reports of coronavirus clusters sent students home. Now, some faculty are reporting work beyond their regular hours, while not every student has the same access to technology.
