The administrators want to have their cake and eat it, several ways over. They want college students to return, at least for a bit, to justify charging for room and board. They also want the root cause of any “okay, everyone go home” orders to be the students themselves, to better justify keeping all that room and board money. But they also desperately want to avoid any awkward questions about why they didn’t see this coming. It’s really hard for the casual observer to not wonder if the administrators are just plain stupid.
