Students at the University of Lynchburg and Sweet Briar College largely adhered to public health rules put in place this fall to limit the spread of the coronavirus on their respective campuses, according to officials at both institutions.
As a result, just a small fraction of the students at both institutions faced disciplinary action for straying from the newly written rules.
âOur students showed care and compassion in helping to mitigate the virus,â said Aaron Smith, vice president and dean for student development at the University of Lynchburg. âThatâs in part because of the kind of community that we have, but also because of the education and prevention methods that we had in place.â
