[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Financially, ND could have survived just fine going remote all semester.  Smaller Catholic colleges and the town of South Bend?  Not so much.  Jenkins showed a lot of leadership opening and the entire professional staff has been amazing leading the institution and students this past year.  And, fwiw, professors were not forced to hold in-person classes.  I am still completely bewildered why he made such a stupid, bad choice at the WH that he will never live down.

And do you know how many kids are back in their college towns or some other great place doing classes online?  A LOT.

As for who learned more lessons this year, it’s safe to say we all did hopefully.

How is truth hate? I think you've lost your perspective because it worked out for your kid. I'm from a multi-generational ND family and grew up in SB. And I loved my time there. But I'm not so blinded by that that I can't call them out when they screw up. Just because no one died, doesn't mean they set the example they should have. I was ready to be impressed when they first announced their plan, but they didn't live up to the rhetoric. Students showed up ready to party and then were vilified by Jenkins when the inevitable outbreak occurred. I've always liked Jenkins, but when he let giddiness over a court appointment set the ultimate bad example at the WH, he should have been fired. Instead, just like when rape allegations against football players have been pushed aside, the university chose to look the other way. Do what we say, not what we do doesn't work with parenting and sets a horrible example for college students.

Get back to me when you're know as much about ND as the rest of us. [/quote]
