Local university put as much library material online as possible and is doing check-out-by-mail.
Computer clusters that were previously on-site only were reconfigured with a Citrix-like access.
Gyms, no. Of course not. Maybe a refund of those kinds of fees is reasonable.
I've been downvoted here so I can see that my view is unpopular. I think the university, at least the one I am familiar with, is doing everything short of welcoming students to campus in order to make the best experience for the students.
- kart23 6y agoSee, this may be the experience that you have, but for plenty of students its not. At a UC, we are paying ~1,000 dollars for services that simply don't exist. And don't get me started on out-of-state students. Add a zero on to that figure. These services, which have all been shut down include: shuttles, gyms, libraries, computer labs. We are pissed. Nothing has been changed from their usual online services for libraries, check out by mail isn't a thing. Computer access hasn't changed. And our school has not, and does not plant to refund any money. Keep in mind that they received $38 million from the government as part of the cares act, half of which was supposed to be given directly to students ASAP. Nothing has been said about that money. I hope you can see why we are mad, and why we think the university isn't doing enough to address our concerns.
