My Alma Mater. I can't say 'UNC', because people think it's North Carolina, not Northern Colorado.

All three state universities in Iowa are on-line only after spring break. Probably everywhere.

Well, if they can operate online effectively then probably they can cut a lot of overhead expenses by keeping them online in the future.

I pay $38,000 for my son’s tuition. While I don’t want him getting sick in his dorm, I don’t pay that kind of money for on-line learning. How do I get my money back?

Yep.
In-person college education is now mainly a way to brainwash young people into Leftists.

Exactly what I was thinking. We can cut the cost of education and alleviate the student debt crisis.
And another thing ... online is basically no cost add for additional students. The number of people being educated can increase. Not all viewers of content will be permitted to be scored on tests, obtain credits. But when they do enter the cohort that has paid, they will be so much better prepared.

Ask. If the school rebufs your offer, best path is to write off the loss as "lesson learned."
You could sue, but you'd almost certainly lose, and you'd be out the cost of the lawyer and court fees on top of being fleeced in the first place.

My kids are at the University of Cincinnati. One of them is in the design school. So they have a design project that they have to make something how the heck are they going to do that over the internet? Classes until the end of April are online. He has three Design Studios how do you do that?

Hmmmm....The young don't seem vulnerable to this virus. Mostly old white males get hit hard.
Now what group represents old white males on college campuses?

Just about every college in Greater Boston...including Harvard...has gone “online”.On the local news last night they were saying that Boston has become a ghost town.

My 15 year old granddaughter wants to be an orthopedic surgeon. She is in the honors program at school and watches surgeries on YouTube, etc. Online is the wave of the future.

I've been to Boston, visited the Berklee School.

Also visited Rayburn Music just down the street, where they sold 'Emilio' T-shirts.

Just wait until all these universities and colleges administrators realize that, “Hey, we could save a ton of money by switching to ONLINE ONLY! We could VIDEO STREAM ALL COURSES! NO MORE OVERPAID TENURED PROFESSORS!” .......................

Thought it was older people in general, those with compromised breathing, and especially certain Asian populations?

Having worked at a major Harvard teaching hospital for 20+ years I can guarantee your granddaughter that watching surgical procedures on youtube just won't cut it (pun absolutely intended).I can also guarantee her that should she be admitted to medical school (which,by your description,seems distinctly possible) the only time she'll spend on line will be to research articles from professional journals (JAMA,NEJM,etc,etc) for classroom assignments and while on clinical clerkships.
