you use "value" without ever defining it nor how that "value" is greater when in person compared to online. This also assumes that salaries are only dictated by the "value" produced- which I don't think stands up to analysis. Nonetheless, the reason why institutions are biased towards face-to-face is because 1) without face-to-face, there is no need for room and board- which is a significant portion of revenue. 2) Support service contracts - such as dining/cafeteria services - may stipulate that institutions still are financial obligated even if they are not generating the typical revenue from the services. There are other examples, but as I said in a previous post -operating budgets of tuition dependent colleges/universities are generated with the assumption of physical bodies being present - and all the peripheral income that generates. Most schools would not be able to survive without that income.
