Canadian colleges and universities will "largely remain online in the Fall of 2020," according to this article. It reports on a survey conducted by the Canadian Pulse Project that will "provide a snapshot of 273 faculty and administrator perspectives on whether they are optimistic or pessimistic about the future of higher education over the next 2 years."
