Please don't listen to Randos on the internet. Please call the college directly and ask them. You find them nicer 99% of the time and more informed 100% of the time.

I work for a college, fool.

Not in any informed capacity, you clearly do not.

Your perspective must not be so clear, after all, because you are exactly wrong.

Ok then let’s do this.

Name the college you work for. That won’t identify you, right, since there are so many other employees.

I will call the admissions office and ask exactly the question posed. I will get a name and list it and I will tell them I am going to do so for permission.

If the policy they tell me is not the one you are stating, we’ll know you are a liar. If it is, I will mea culpa and you will have provided valuable information to this community.

Sound good?

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, no. And I really, really, really don't care what you think of me, because it is apparent you know so little, and have so little regard for facts. Good luck, though.

Oh, and do your own homework.

Thanks for the confirmation you are full of it, Rando.

As for “do you own homework” that is EXACTLY what my post you responded to suggested. Call the college the student is admitted to and ask them, and don’t believe some rando on the internet.

As for what I think of you, it is this: if you were telling the truth you would have taken me up on my challenge.

Why on earth do you think I owe you anything, is the question? I already gave you free advice. Take it, or don't, it makes no difference to me. Your not liking my answer has no bearing on me.

This, colleges need to hear that parents won’t pay full freight for distance learning. Many people feel this way.

PP here. I agree, many parents do not. I do think that many students will end up giving up their spots.

The name calling is not only immature, but sincerely takes away from other PP's argument. Most college kids know better.

ie: many parents do not feel that they want to pay full price for online classes. I can't say I blame them, but I do not see colleges bending for this - colleges are already losing enough money because of lost room and board.

This is true, and why should they? If you want to take economics classes at a community college, that's fine. If you want to take economics classes with faculty members who advise the White House and the World Bank, go with a better institution. It's up to you. There are pros and cons either way.

PP again, I should add that tuition is not as much of the college's budget as you and I would suspect it is.

That is most college's sentiment. No one at the college is able to change this, except maybe one or two people, and it is not who you would think.

You definitely don’t owe me anything. The only thing is I gave you a chance to easily prove you were telling the truth and you passed. So it is is reasonable assumption that you are lying.

Again, my main point was: don’t believe Randos on the internet, call the college in question and ask them. How anyone can take issue with that position is beyond me.

I don't take issue with you feeling the need to have an issue - I called you on not knowing your facts, and you didn't like it, like a petulant child. Call as many schools as you would like. I'm sure their now limited staff wouldn't consider it a complete waste of their time to try to prove "some Rando" (sic), in this case you, right. Because, the people who are paying for college right now, who are paying for whomever's son or daughter to be in online classes, want their money to go to resources to assuage people like you. Get a grip.

Time for colleges and universities to cull their assistant provosts, vice presidents and directors and all the executive assistants that follow.

Or maybe the athletic coaches! That part of college won't be profitable for a while, and coaches are often amongst the most highly paid employees by far, other than the college presidents. There are also a ton of diversity officers that were hired in recent years (apparently Michigan Ann Arbor has 76 of them now). https://www.mlive.com/news/g66l-2019/01/5ecdebc7cb7398/university-of-michigan-defends-spending-millions-on-diversity-plan.html
I am sure colleges are planning to draw down the wait list. Plenty of people won't mind paying for a semester or two of online education for a higher rank college.

More of the same. You have one easy step to win the discussion, and until you do it, i consider it settled.
