I would think that it's important to have dashboards available for schools with few students back, since there is probably a larger number of students living off-campus. It's also helpful to see if their mitigation strategies are working effectively.
For those schools that have few students on campus (Columbia, Harvard, Penn), the goal would be to have low numbers. Columbia and Harvard seem to reflect that. However, Penn's numbers are noticeably higher than the other two. Thankfully, the rise in cases two weeks ago, dropped last week.
With Penn, it can serve as a wake up call for the administration and students that they all need to do better if they want things to move in a better direction (more students on campus, sports to resume, etc.)
Cornell, which has the most students back on campus, had a large number of cases earlier this semester and everyone seems to have learned lessons to improve the situation.
For Brown, which is just starting to bring back students, the low dashboard numbers can be used like a baseline to compare it to the upcoming numbers with more students on campus.
