I am throughly horrified at the difference between the approaches of American and European schools. Most European schools have already moved fall semester online while American schools are scrambling to preserve their tuitions.
I mean, just compare their priorities.
- downerending 6y agoMany American schools have little choice. If they lose a substantial fraction of their students (especially rich international students) for a year, they may very well have to close, or at least decimate their programs.

- downerending 6y agoThat'd be okay with me. The reality is, though, that rich donors call the shots. Nothing happens without their say-so.
