USAFA Decision ragrading COVID-19

[MullenLE]

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY PUBLIC AFFAIRS -- Due to the rapid spread of COVID-19, and with multiple members of our base populace being monitored, we have made the conservative decision to begin an orderly dismissal of a large segment of our Cadet population.

The goal of this action is to maximize the chances of graduating our senior class on time for our Air and Space Forces while ensuring the best possible care for the entire base populace. We did not make this decision lightly; we consulted with our medical professionals, sister service academies and local civic leaders, among others.

Ultimately, the deciding factor was recommendations from our public health officials and the inability to execute social distancing over 4,000 cadets here on campus.

Do you think this will delay the admission's process?

Or even delay I-day?

They've already announced that the admissions process proceeds. I suppose it might slow things down, but they still have a hard deadline of May 1 for all acceptances to occur. This was on another corona virus thread here. search or browse for it. BTW - visits are cancelled, I believe. It should be on the same thread to confirm.
