What should I do if there is substantial community transmission?
section_content: If local health officials have determined there is substantial transmission of
COVID-19 within the community, they will provide guidance to administrators on
the best course of action for their college or university. Similar strategies
will extend across organizations (e.g., K-12 schools, business, community and
faith-based organizations) in a collective effort to stop the spread of
COVID-19.
Measures will likely include extended class suspension and event/activity
cancellations (e.g., suspension/cancellations for longer than two weeks). This
longer-term, and likely broader-reaching, strategy is intended to slow
transmission rates of COVID-19 in the community. During extended class
suspensions, cancel extracurricular group activities and large events.
Remember to implement strategies to ensure the continuity of education,
research, and housing as well as meal programs and other essential services
for students.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not give specific advice about masks, and so on
Seems like an okay answer. This seems to be addressing K-12 schools instead of colleges that the question is asking about so this information isn't as relevant here

What should we do if we have a confirmed case of COVID-19 on campus or identify someone who was on campus?
section_content: Immediately notify local health officials. These officials will help
administrators determine a course of action for your college or university.
Administrators should work closely with their local health officials to
determine if a short-term closure (for 2-5 days) of all campus buildings and
facilities is needed. In some cases, you may only need to close buildings and
facilities that had been entered by the individual(s) with COVID-19. This
initial short-term class suspension and event and activity (e.g., club
meetings; on-campus sport, theater, and music events) cancellation allows time
for the local health officials to gain a better understanding of the COVID-19
situation and for custodial staff to clean and disinfect the affected
facilities. It also allows the local health officials and administrators to
determine appropriate next steps, including whether an extended duration is
needed to stop or slow further spread of COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
No direct advice regarding masks, distancing and so forth
This directly answers what the question is asking about. It speaks to what college campuses should do and how long they should close for. This seems highly relevant to the question being asked

How should my school prepare when there is minimal to moderate community transmission?
section_content: Work with your local health officials to determine a set of strategies
appropriate for your community’s situation. Continue using the preparedness
strategies implemented for no community transmission, and consider the
following social distancing strategies:

Cancel large gatherings
Cancel or modify courses where students are likely to be in very close contact.
Increase space between desks.
Reduce congestion in the health clinic.
Consider if and how existing dining services should be scaled back or adapted.

Gives suggestions and guidance on point
This is an okay answer but seems like they could have included more information. They did answer the question but there's not much detail in here. Definitely could use more information
