SUNY says it will test about 140,000 students for COVID-19 before they're allowed to go home for Thanksgiving. The 64-campus system announced the policy Tuesday, saying it's a vital public health step before students travel across the country for the extended intersession period. SUNY Chancellor Jim Malatras spoke with WAMC's Ian Pickus about the project.
