I was looking at my ignore list because in the locked thread below, Mark mentioned a post by Irish64 who was recently added to that small select club. I wanted to see what Mark was referring to, so I went to unignore the guy temporarily, and I found your name on the list! I had mistakenly added you in, and honestly, I am not sure how.
Anyways, if I have not been responding for the past couple of weeks, please accept my apologies. I had wondered if you were not posting because you had to get your online class prep done. I’m glad to see you haven’t left (but sad that you ARE Left (politically) ;).
Anyways, sorry.......and have at thee!

markedly. In fact, I wonder if things will ever go back fully. But I have no expertise in this, what do you think?
But lots of people - and most parents, it seems - don’t really want to see it.
But the cost of university education is sinfully high...so if it comes, colleges will have no one to blame but their irresponsible selves.
First, I think that’s it is a given that they would not decrease their tuitions for an online product that provides their real sheepskin.
But if they were to offer their legit accepted students an online home version, those students could save the cost of living expenses while the schools would defray overhead costs (unless they are raking it in with their dorms and cafeterias, but I suspect those ultimately end up being budget neutral). Still it would require less staffing, heating, utilities, etc, etc.
Their will still be those who prefer to stay on campus and have face to face access, but smaller numbers of richer kids. This would impact the campus activities to some extent, but not if they increase their enrollment commensurately for even more tuition intake through increased volume. This will devalue the degree in the long term, but how often do administrators think about the long term when facing the opportunity of short term gain?
My daughter's Room & Board is more than my Notre Dame tuition was back in the 80s.
Sinful is right.
.....it adds up to surprisingly little compared to the overall cost - I estimate 4K or so.
