This graphic displays how 53 different higher educational institutions in Texas have responded to the recent, widespread effects of Winter Storm Uri. The deadly snow and ice storm struck Texas’ infrastructure particularly hard, leaving millions without electricity, heat, or running water. As indicated on the schools’ websites and social media pages, most institutions have cancelled all classes at the least, while some have even closed campus and transitioned to online classes. It still remains to be seen how these schools will transition back after the crisis fades away.
