Many university students in the United States thought they would get through the final weeks of the 2021-2022 school year without another COVID-19 restriction. That is no longer the case for some. Major universities in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Texas recently put pandemic restrictions back in place. Many are once again requiring face coverings. In Washington, D.C., Howard University moved its classes back online. At Rice University in Texas, leaders told students to cancel any large parties. These and other rules come about three weeks before many universities hoped to hold graduation events without restrictions.
