[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Total overreaction.  Kids should be sent home to do semester on-line.  That is penalty enough for this offense.[/quote]

They are in a specialized program in person, even if I agree study a round in Boston” is dumb.  I doubt there is a remote option.  My kids SLAC has a very limited remote option.  My kids on campus in mostly in person and hybrid. If he was kicked off campus, he’d have only 4 out of 18 credits he could do remotely.

However dumb “study abroad in Boston” is, “study abroad from your basement” is never gonna happen. [/quote]

My LAC freshman (not Northeastern) is studying at home this semester (we don’t have a basement) and so are kids from a lot of colleges. I don’t understand your statement. [/quote]

They are in a specialized program meant to mimic study abroad, but in Boston. So their classes are almost certainly not all remote. They are likely taking small group field trips are the area and involved in the community.  It’s ridiculous to call this “study abroad”.  But it means there wouldn’t be a remote class to plug these kids into.  They were deferred for a semester to “study abroad”.  They can’t take general NEU classes.  That defeats the purpose of deferral.  They can’t do whatever their fake study abroad program syllabus is remotely— it’s supposed to be hands on in Boston. There probably isn’t a remote class for them to take.  And NEU isn’t obligated to create one because they couldn’t follow the rules.

IOW, you can’t “study abroad” from home. [/quote]
