Study: UT-Austin, with 449 COVID-19 Cases, Ranks Number One among American Universities in That Dubious-Distinction Category.


"The University of Texas has the highest number of reported coronavirus cases among all public and many private higher education institutions across the country, according to a survey by The New York Times. "The Times surveyed every public university in the country as well as every private university that competes in Division I sports or is an elite research university and found more than 6,300 cases in 270 universities across the country. UT topped the list at 449 cases as of Tuesday. The university also has reported one death as a result of the coronavirus — a custodial staffer who died earlier this month." This comes from a copyrighted July 29, 2020, online report by "Austin American-Statesman" staff writer Lara Korte, the link for which is below.
