The example of Vanderbilt - a prestigious, private research institution in America's South - shows that risky behavior by some young people extended far beyond the spring break mob scenes on Florida beaches that emerged last month. It illustrates the role students at some colleges - particularly those with a global footprint - have played in the pandemic.
"Vandy" is an elite school with a large cohort of well-to-do students. Many travel abroad during spring break, especially Europe. They often visit other Vanderbilt students attending study-abroad programs. Other Vanderbilt students who traveled to Spain and other European countries returned to the Nashville campus.
At the time, scores of other American colleges and universities were taking steps to cancel classes and switch to online instruction, according to data compiled by Bryan Alexander, a senior scholar at Georgetown University. "We're all here and we're ready to fire one last time before our college careers are ended" by coronavirus, stated one Facebook post announcing an off-campus St Patrick's Day party. Several students who attended the party later tested positive for coronavirus, according to a student. Reuters could not independently confirm this.
One video shows several dozen students in a backyard dancing, hugging and drinking. Text overlaying the video reads,"Schools out forever," while the caption reads,"the luck of the Irish did not grace Vanderbilt this st frattys."
