UNC is putting all undergraduate face-to-face classes online by Wednesday at the latest.
They are working on plans to get some students out of residence halls and some to disperse for home.
FYI: UNC is both larger than the U, BYU, or Utah State, but it also has a higher proportion of students living in campus-related housing. And North Carolina is a more spread out state than Utah, so most students are in for a substantial move home.
No word on new clusters. They are up to 130 positive test results amongst students, 5 amongst staff, a positivity rate of 13.6% (up from less than 3% last week), 177 students in isolation, and 349 in quarantine.

This might be a good time to reiterate that people need to stop the BS about COVID-19 not affecting young people much. We can put forth a lot of subjective opinions about why minorities are being hit harder, but the objective fact is that death rates for minorities aged 44 and younger are higher than for whites over the age of 85. For some minorities it's even those under 34.

There's also an entire sorority house at Oklahoma State under quarantine after 23 members residing there tested positive.
Oh ... and there's a cluster on the Oklahoma football team.
FWIW: at the time that I write this, none of the news items linked above appear on the website of FOXNews.com or DrudgeReport.com. They are on CNN.com.
UPDATE: Between the time I wrote and posted this, and went back to another tab, DrudgeReport had gotten this news on their page.
