The four undergraduate University of Massachusetts campuses are expecting to bring back more students in the spring than the small number who were living in dorms this fall semester, but would all still be operating at less than half-occupancy under estimates shared Thursday.
The UMass campuses in Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth and Lowell are expecting to operate in a partially remote model in the spring, university treasurer Lisa Calise told the system s trustees Thursday.
Lower numbers of students on each campus because of that model mean that UMass will take in about $80 million less than anticipated in housing and dining revenue, contributing to a $335 million shortfall the university is managing through this fiscal year.
