Nor will in-person, small group seminars be moved on-line. It might be fairer to just extend spring break for 2-3 months, and pick up the semester again in May or June.
Or, refund this semesters’s tuition, room, and board, and give everyone a do-over until next fall. (I am assuming the virus will burn out in 2-3 months.)
Maybe the best outcome would be radically improve remote learning, this time with full institutional support.
- eropple 7y ago> I am assuming the virus will burn out in 2-3 months. This is a really optimistic assumption. I hope you're right, but I would hope no political unit is making plans based on it.
- whatshisface 7y agoActually, that's extremely pessimistic. Unchecked exponential growth until it slams in to the population ceiling is both the worst-case scenario for fatalities, and also the scenario that would finish in three months.
- fuckknows 7y agoAssuming that immunity lasts for an extended period or indefinitely, which we have no way of knowing yet.
