Yep, why do this when they don't even know what the numbers will look like in 60 days?

How pissed would you be if you were scheduled to graduate in the fall?

maybe the prep involved getting ready for a school year at an institution is pretty involved

Good

Less indoctrination

Many Universities should follow suit.

Actually make it 100% total closure forever.

I just don't understand rushing to cancel things so far in advance. This could be largely a non issue by mid June and they'd have two months to prepare for the fall semester, assuming they have semesters.

Will be too late by then. This has really reached peak insanity. Maybe schools like Columbia can get away with something like this. But for many schools (including BU) this will cause lasting damage. Who is going to go there now? They risk losing most of an entire class. Are they going to retain all of the faculty?

It's hard for me to imagine being any more pissed off than I already am, but I guess I would somehow manage to be exactly that.
