Will COVID 19 Bankrupt The University System?

Hard to justify the $25,000+ cost for nothing but online classes again in Sept... Especially in the sciences where in class labs are absolutely necessary..

I hope so. Too many kids these days majoring in underwater basket weaving and ending up spelling my name wrong at starbucks

[LBDamned]

How will they their degree in underwater bb stacking?

[NeilDown]

LOL at underwater basket weaving. First time I heard that was back in '91 I think.

I'm pretty sure I heard of people now getting science degrees purely from home where they are supposed to dry-lab everything. I think it was Arizona or Arizona State where I heard they do that.

Its gonna bankrupt more than Universities. Public ones will get bail outs like usual.

I hope so. It's turned higher education into a farce, a paid right of passage into a higher-paying job (not really after getting ***-ended with loans) just a barely step up from service industry work. I did vocational training before I was persuaded to go on the "transfer-crazy" tract. I can tell you that 10% of what I took from the programs was common sense that would come with time and experience, while the remaining 90% was mumbo jumbo bs so they could sell more text books.

The real reason why the US is really screwed in the job market is because a large portion of manufacturing went abroad and ALL the jobs associated with it. We need to fight through this with apprenticeships and paid on the job training and get Americans back to work. Yes, get them masks. Yet if you're making $4200 a month sitting in your butt for 6 months, would you feel inclined to do so? Some would and will.

And really, if corporate America is screwing us, time to stop giving them the edge and contracts. Help small business evolve into medium sized or larger enterprises.

Another way for the system to churn out more white collar slaves....through indebtedness!

I wish more universities go belly up!

Will COVID 19 Bankrupt The University System

Do you mean "bankrupt" as in actual bankruptcy, or as in destroy?

Because bankruptcy would be no big deal for the university system. They get protection from creditors, they pay whom they can what they can, and life goes on as normal. Wouldn't cause the correction that many of us believe is long overdue.

[Dan_Eastvale]

It is more serious than many here believe...

Hands on physics, chemistry and biochemistry lab experience is essential in gaining skills in analysis techniques with the current technologies...

Medical students need hands on practicums... They are only allowed distance practicums under this shutdown..

Another year or two of purely online courses leaving the universities as ghost towns will be a great disservice to those in the sciences.

All except Hah-vud.

Couldn't happen to a BETTER group of libtards, though!

[ibanezfoo]

We can only hope.

Can't bounce till you hit the ground... Let them crash and rebuild them to what they were before they went insane.

[HighWildFree]

Audit the system, and cut the fat. Some ridiculous salaries at our Universities.

The upside for colleges is that if they do go "online", they will now have potential recordings of all of their classes. Now they can save money by firing the professors.

There was a guy on the Louder With Crowder show who got canned after the university he taught at forced him to record his lectures. He knew it was going to happen, but I guess figured "get paid now and fired in a few months or get fired now".
