Well if I were truly a smart person I would probably have some ingenious plot thought up for this type of situation and have it up and running by now, but I have a little problem with creativity. That being said, my thoughts on arriving on campus would be that we need to find a way to quickly identify who has the virus and to suspend their right to leave their room. If their roommate/roommates do not already have the virus they should temporarily be given another place to stay. The room of the infected should be cleaned once their sickness has gone away.
We should also be posting lectures on the internet but only give students with confirmed sickness access to the postings. This would ensure that other healthy students would not just skip class and try to watch the lectures online. We would also need to find a way to allow the infected to turn in their homework assignments and participate in labs somehow. Someone could always pick up the infected students homework, but labs are slightly more difficult.
I suppose that instructors could give sample sets of data that the student would just have to analyze. The student could right up a lab report based on the sample data and the proposed mechanism to do the lab.
My ideas have now run dry....
