[quote=Anonymous]"I have a close friend who teaches at Stanford. She told me they have several plans in place right now, and one of them is to delay the first semester to start in January. There are just so many options and different ideas out there and nobody knows what's going to happen."

I have news for you:  there are actually about two to four people on each and very campus who know what plans are in place, and they aren't talking yet, because NO ONE (not even your friend who teaches at Stanford) knows WTH is going to happen, come September.  The COVID numbers could go up or down.

Colleges may have a few plans in place, but for now, they are all speculation.  Let's face it, parents are going to worry about being online in the fall ("is my kid getting a good education....blah, blah, blah...") and they are also going to worry about being on campus ("is my kid going to get sick?  Are they opening too soon?  How are they protecting my kid? Blah, blah, blah....")

Colleges can't win, really.  So no - colleges are not telling anyone anything yet, because (wait for it) they don't know.  No on does, and colleges are not stupid enough to guess or divulge information they have no control of.

You think you have control issues?  That ain't nothing, compared to colleges.  They are not releasing bad information, rightly so. [/quote]
