But the snooty-ass Music History types, I don't care what happens to them.
I'm sure it's the same in other disciplines, cool people and assholes.
Since I know nothing of music at the college level, I won’t comment, but the other disciplines I will.
Some of my ‘professors’ were elitist snobs that did not care whether you passed or failed, they got theirs and you must beg for yours.
BUT some were really good people who cared about their students and would help you any way they could.
So, you were correct:
“I’m sure it’s the same in other disciplines, cool people and assholes.”.......................
I think that terrifies a lot of them...because the first schools to realize that, AND reduce their tuition accordingly (now that they don’t need so many people, OR fixed costs in the form of buildings) will take the advantage, and pull down those institutions that can’t afford to change that way.
Well, if they can operate online effectively then probably they can cut a lot of overhead expenses by keeping them online in the future.

Not only that, Republican students wouldn’t be forced to live in areas where they have no free speech and have to kowtow to transgenders.
Canned lectures are the future of education.............................
Wow! Imagine that!
One might say they’re already here...Pearson provides not only the textbook, but also the Powerpoint program used during the lectures. Fewer and fewer are the moments of a professor (more likely just a lecturer, or even a TA) relating real-life anecdotes about the subject at hand during the lecture.
“Well, if they can operate online effectively, then probably they can cut a lot of overhead expenses by keeping them online in the future.”
We have grand kids and great nephews/nieces from coast to coast on some type of hiatus or pending hiatus from classes.
After spring break, some will be online for the next semester. There will be more.
I have posted about a friend who has established an excellent on line MBA program.
He has been salivating about doing the same with K-12 public and private schools. Starting this fall, with maybe some test runs in some public schools after spring break.
If they can get the same federal funding per day/student for the public schools, that may start a stampede to his programs.
A retired teacher was jumping on him about how bad his plans were for society. He told her not to be an A$$hole or he would not hire her.
One of our Freepers noted that once the online public school financial toothpaste is out of the tube re public school going on line, they will never get it back into the tube.
On a similar but different area, this incredible guy feels that this virus will be the final blow to many shopping malls and even strip malls.
He says that we will order our everyday grocery stuff online and either pick it up at the store without going into the store or have it delivered to our homes. We do that now with Walmart and Raley’s/Nob Hill. Costco has us signed up for free next day delivery for a minimum of $50/delivery for sometime this year. We now get 2 day free delivery for $60
He and his wife have once a week delivery for ready to heat and eat meals. The goodies are delivered on Saturday to their homes. Several mutual friends have tried this system and love it.
Not only that, Republican students wouldn’t be forced to live in areas where they have no free speech and have to kowtow to transgenders.
Also, older Republicans with degrees still in demand, could stay home and conduct classes on line without dealing with the left wing professors, staff and students and having to park in the next county because they are so anti vehicle at so many colleges/universities
