I have a student in college. Students largely would rather have a vaccine and/or mask mandates (not that the latter does much) in college than shutting them down again and moving to online. It’s devastating for college kids when they do that—I know many kids that age. Most of them would much rather wear masks or get the vaccine than endure more “distance learning.” Liberty University made the wrong call here and it’s too bad.
I know college students who would rather take online courses than the shots and masks.
Unfortunately, many classes and programs are not offered online.
Several will just drop out if can’t get exemptions.
