Michigan’s universities are facing significant losses as a result of the Chinese virus pandemic. One estimate suggests that public universities in Michigan will lose a total of $1 billion as a result of the pandemic.

According to a report by the College Fix, public universities and colleges in the state of Michigan will lose approximately $1 billion as a result of the Chinese virus pandemic. “There are no simply no revenues coming in at this point,” Dan Hurley, the president of the Michigan Association of State Universities, said in a comment.

They held a university and no one showed up!!!! I guess they could just fold up shop and refer the potential students to community college where they could learn to code.

Several reasons:

1. 39 million people out of work - where’s tuition going to come from?

2. Who wants to pay full freight for online classes?

3. Who wants to live on petri dish college campuses?

This will happen nationwide. Community colleges and satellite campuses will take up the slack.
