[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If fall ends up online, I could see the dominos start to fall. Online education just doesn't compare to in person, and a lot of schools don't have the name brand that would be the only reason to pay the extra money. Can't imagine spending the money on a SLAC when it's online and I say that a loyal alum of one.[/quote]

I am an alum of a SLAC (now at 2,000 students) and a faculty member at a large private university (10,000 undergrads).  I agree that online doesn't compare to face-to-face. But all online education is not the same.  Even online, the SLAC is likely to provide more individualized attention than a large private. And the average faculty member at an SLAC is likely to put more effort into teaching than the average faculty member at a large private, whether the teaching is face-to-face or online. It's a matter of how incentives are structured by the administration when it comes to tenure/promotions/raises as well as self-selection by academics into different types of academic institutions.
