It is going to be interesting to see how this virus impacts the number of Chinese students on campuses next year. I guess it depends on how much people blame Chinese government actions for its existence in the first place.
It will also be interesting to see what innovative programs colleges come up with to stay in business. For instance, will some schools try to offer a lot of required lab-based courses in the same semester so that students who live too far to commute only have to live on or off campus half of a year and can take their non-lab classes online or at another school the other half?
My, my, my... I guess it’s time to start discharging the HUGE numbers of social justice employees on college campuses.
1. We'll simply hear NON-STOP Chinese lies forEVER.
2. THAT will be interesting.
Most school districts already have systems in operation for staying at home. Since a high school education is 99.9% worthless--no loss. Those plans can be filed into the CIRCULAR FILE.
The colleges can plan away with success since every student has access to a computer...either at home or a friend's home. Term papers are available on-line, for a price. Cheating is endemic.
The LAB classes, biology, physiology, anatomy, physics, etc., will be a harder sell. THAT's a conundrum.
I read about this earlier this week, but in the British context.
I didn’t realize so many American universities were so dependent on foreign enrollment for their undergraduate programs.
I thought most foreign students in the US were in graduate programs—specifically mathematics and the sciences.
I went college many years ago, and it was well known it was impossible to understand the graduate teaching assistants in calculus—most of them were Chinese at the school I attended.
