I don't believe they're necessarily worried that it will harm young, healthy adults in the long run. Methinks they're more worried about it spreading like wildfire because nobody's built up any immunity to it.

And a college in which (oh, let's say) 75% of the students and faculty members are out sick for a week+ on end isn't going to operate very effectively.
Not to mention there are bound to be some students who aren't as healthy as most young adults...
And I'm not sure how it works at other colleges, but at least 2 of my instructors are decrepit old men. So won't somebody please think of the decrepit old men?
