This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

This is exactly correct. Colleges and universities are by Fighting_Artichoke

trying a few different strategies to reduce risk to their student population. At my school we are offering a lot of 8-week courses so they would be completed before a second wave. Plus the majority of the courses are completely online, with just art, science labs, and classes like nursing that have practicums continuing with face-to-face classes. Residential colleges and universities (mine is all commuter) have tough choices to make. The 3 state universities here in Arizona announced in-person classes for the fall, but delayed when students must decide where they will go until until June 1st (because so few students were ready to make a choice). The deadline is usually May 1st. After students decide, the universities may decide to announce that there will be only an online option. We'll see.
