So you want a refund on tuition that you don't even pay for? Or by "refund" you mean LSU is going to send some money back to the state?


It means the state should pay less

Why would they take a pay cut?


Because one of the integral parts of being a teacher is babysitting other people's rugrats.

They no longer have to do that. Their salary should be adjusted accordingly. As should the amount of taxes paid by parents.

LSU will keep the bare minimum classes in person so they can have students in dorms paying room and board. No way in hell they will go 100% online again for the entire semester and lose that cash flow.


They'll keep some classes in person so they can justify having football.

With one class in person so they can collect housing and dinning fees.

UF- 7th semester ChemE


So only a couple semesters left?

I can only speak for the LPG industry along with chem plants but once we get past the election or Covid dies down, things will get better.

Things are bad in all industry’s but we’ve been hammered. Tell your kids who are in college for engineering things will be much better by spring and continue to get better.

What classrooms have you been in because no teachers are babysitting? I love teaching. I teach elementary students who love to learn, are kind and helpful. The only problems I have are dealing with ahole parents or people like you who don’t know what you’re talking about.

I didn’t like online classes.

I learned less, it was no substitute for being in a lecture, and grading was lenient. It felt like a quid pro quo. Where I paid for good grades.

The shift to online learning will just water down and already watered down product - and make college even more meaningless.

NE Ohio, pricey Catholic high school. Parents/kids have a choice of in school full time or virtual full time. Not sure what the virtual full time entails in terms of hours/times of live virtual classes. Gonna be interesting.

When the school asks for donations down the road, tell them that you were going to send them $10K but it got eaten up by all kinds of fees that took precedence over the school getting its money.

Larger classes will be online, smaller classes are supposed to be either hybrid or in-person, but some faculty members may have scheduled them to be online. I heard that they were planning to move smaller classes to the large lecture halls in order to space people out.

quote:

• Classes of 100 or more students will be online with few exceptions.
• Classes with between 11-99 students will meet in designated rooms with full
or partial/alternating in-person attendance days, unless faculty members have
scheduled to hold these courses online.
• Classes with 10 or fewer students may meet as scheduled, unless faculty
members have scheduled to hold these courses online.
