Reply to "The Future of College"

No fall sports, but they allow practices.  I wonder if their faculty and staff are taking pay cuts?  or just saving the money on sports and extra-curriculars, plus their endowment, is enough?  I also wonder how many of their students were paying full-freight anyway, as opposed to having it reduced through need-based aid?

I disagree completely with Galloway and online education.  He thinks Harvard et al can "leverage their brand" by going online.  The whole point of their brand is gathering students in one place, for in-person learning.  None of that happens online.  Education is not detergent.  One thing the shutdown has shown is the value of in-person education, both at that k-12 level and college.  I am now much more aware of it than I used to be.  It is really hard for students to do online education, not just because of the technology and new teaching modes, but because of all the external factors.
