extend Spring Break by 2/3 weeks. Of course, this is for colleges in states without community transmission going on.

Hawaii only has 2 cases, with both individuals purportedly in self-isolation.
Now you'll have thousands of college kids flying back home to places like California, Washington, and New York (where community transmission is ongoing), or to other countries, for Spring Break, and then coming back.

The risk of catching the disease increases the longer these folks remain in active hotspots, not to mention, if they're thinking of traveling around now that they have more vacation time (since the university only announced the campus closure on Thursday of the week before Spring Break), they could catch it a week before coming back, meaning that they could bring the coronavirus here without showing symptoms yet.

The people in charge are dumdums.

I don't know any colleges taking 3 weeks off. They're switching to online. But, TC has never been to college so

The point of extending spring break is to reduce having to meet up in groups for classes. The schools can't control what people do during that time...

"me"? Are you David Lassner?

If you're the President of all University of Hawaii 10 campuses and also the Chancellor of the main Manoa campus (an issue for another time, being in position of both), then yes, you totally have the power to modify the school's schedule.
The bars? well, who cares about them (actually, the ones in Hawaii would be super happy, since all the college kids will remain in the State)

It's like you completely missed the first three words of the topic title.
