[quote=Anonymous]I'm an academic not currently at a university, but I've heard this over and over again from friends who are still in the academy. Here's one take: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-04-08/coronavirus-not-all-strapped-u-s-colleges-will-survive Also note that most people who study higher ed expect that this crisis will alter the business model in some way. Here is some speculation: https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisonmccauley/2020/04/09/how-covid-19-could-shift-the-college-business-model/#3b146d8564fb Final point: If you are follow academics on social media, there's been a TON of debate about whether universities are doing enough for their faculty, students, staff, etc. Everyone is petitioning for something - staff pay during the shutdown, more time on the tenure clock, refunds for student health fees, additional fellowships for grad students. I wonder how sustainable all this is. [/quote]
