We all know the answer is no. And how many hourly employees who work custodial or cafeteria work at these schools will lose their job?

No kidding about the housing fees. If they are not providing housing for the last ten weeks of school, we should get refunds.

Thought it would be good to compose a list:
*Cornell is cancelling all college tours until at least April 15

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/09/us/coronavirus-university-college-classes/index.html
* Harvard University will transition to online classes by March 23
* OSU cancelling in person class until March 30
*Princeton will move to virtual instruction starting March 23
*USCD will go remote starting March 25
*Stanford cancelling all in-person classes for final to weeks of winter. Cancelling campus tours/admit day.
*Rice canceled in-person classes this week.

They are also cancelling tours and visits: Based upon these recommendations and out of an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all information sessions, tours, lunch visits, overnight visits, and class visits until April 30. Any registrants who prepaid lunch visits during this time will be automatically fully refunded.
