Princeton University has asked students to stay home after spring break as New Jersey reported its sixth coronavirus case; classes will go online.
Princeton University classes will all go online after spring break as a response to the spread of the coronavirus, officials said.
"Though we recognize that a personal, 'high touch' educational environment is one of Princeton’s great strengths, we also recognize that these are extraordinary times that require exceptional measures to deal with a health risk that affects us all," university President Christopher Eisgruber said in a letter to students and staff.
International students comprised 25% of the total student enrollment at Princeton in the 2018-2019 academic year and nearly half of the graduate program, according to university data.
