**** This is for general information purposes only. Check with the Coll/Univ. if this impacts you personally. Since my son graduates from UNC May 10th, I hope I don't have to add UNC to this list. Huge disappointment for him & family if it does. Family plans are all in place. Flights, hotels, restaurants will be negatively impacted in each area this occurs in. Please help with this list, attaching links. I feel for those impacted by these decisions - even as I understand them. The most recent entries will be added immediately after the state only if there is a link. GhostRN
