This is now the second university to back out of plans to host a presidential debate this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic. The University of Michigan last month withdrew from hosting the third presidential debate, set for Oct. 15.
WASHINGTON — The University of Notre Dame on Monday withdrew as the host site for the first presidential debate, citing"necessary health precautions" posed by the COVID-19 pandemic that would have"diminished the educational value" for hosting the event on campus.
Notre Dame President The Rev. John I. Jenkins, in a letter to the university's community, said"the inevitable reduction in student attendance in the debate hall, volunteer opportunities and ancillary educational events undermined the primary benefit of hosting — to provide our students with a meaningful opportunity to engage in the American political process.”
