I agree... many colleges could disappear...

I meant to reply to this earlier, but got sick! (Not Covid-19, thankfully, I'm pretty sure... but I caught something, headaches, feeling chills... Got rid of it in a few days, thankfully...) I think the "writing has been on the wall" for a lot of universities and colleges for a while now... The reason is because of online learning. With online learning, the Ivy League universities can take on a lot more students if they want to... In fact, it's unlimited... People might feel it's better to get an ONLINE degree from an Ivy League school, than an IN-PERSON degree from a lesser-known college... So... I think the danger has been there for a while. In fact, some are even predicting that attending classes in person will be a thing of the past... I think it's unlikely to disappear. I'm not sure I'd want my brain surgeon to have learned brain surgery just from online videos! I want him or her to have cut up a few human cadavers under in-person supervision for practice, thanks... I think it's hard to replace any course that requires labs (like many science and engineering courses) with online-only classes... Is it a good idea to have chemistry students handle deadly sulfuric acid in their kitchens, maybe with kids running around? I think not! But... there's a lot that could go online-only... Second... I agree, this is an OPPORTUNITY as well... To provide online instruction... That's more PRACTICAL... and more applicable to REAL LIFE... Just my 2 cents... - Dien
