I heard an interesting report on a business news program a couple of weeks ago -- indicating that something like 20% of the high school senior who have been accepted as the new incoming freshmen class in colleges across the U.S. have already opted to delay their enrollment until at least January 2021. I suspect two things are going to happen:
1. That 20% figure is going to get much higher.
2. That 20% figure doesn't even include college students already enrolled who simply won't be going back anytime soon.
I adjunct taught for a community college some years back.
No way I will do it now with all the craziness.
I’m curious to see if I get a frantic call from them a week before Labor Day as they struggle to staff the increase in classes resulting from the kids who decided to not go away to college.
