But everyone was prescreened before coming to campus so there shouldn't be ANY covid then. Oh wait, College kids will leave campus to do things. The Notre Dame community has well over 15,000 people. Are you surprised that they have 10 cases? Had everyone stayed home, do you think less than 10 people would test positive? South Bend has 100k people. Hope their plan is cognizant of their community’s health too.

Why do you seemingly only care about the student population? The cool thing about online learning is that instructors can teach a class from the comfort of their bedroom or living room if they are not comfortable traveling to campus. This would afford students to still have a college experience and attend classes on campus. Now why are you only concerned about students and professors? They’re not the only ones there.

These colleges knew there would be positive tests. The goal wasn’t and should not be to completely eradicate the virus from campus. That is not realistic. Just like it’s not realistic to eradicate the virus from the hometowns of these students where they may contract the virus. The key is ensuring those who are vulnerable to the virus do not contract it, along with taking swift action to ensure those who have contracted it receive the medical attention and are separated from the rest of the student population. I’m envious of Notre Dame and other colleges. It still amazes me Holy Cross is significantly impacting the quality of education and the college experience for their students to combat a virus that will almost assuredly not harm the overwhelming majority of the student population. Students are at a great risk of being killed on the drive to Worcester than they are of the virus, if one is to look at the statistics. Oh well. Why do you seemingly only care about the student population?

Add Emmanuel to the list with full remote learning Done. These schools will "re-open" their campuses and welcome back their students in the fall: Providence College Villanova University Chestnut Hill CC Fordham University Fairfield University Sacred Heart University University of Scranton Siena College Stonehill College Seton Hall University Iona College Manhattan College St. Peter's University St. John's University St. Anselm College St. Joseph University Assumption University Merrimack College Anna Maria College St. Joseph’s College (ME) Rivier University St. Michael’s College Albertus Magnus College Salve Regina University These schools will not: Holy Cross Regis College (Weston, MA) Emmanuel College Loyola MD, full online. But I’m unclear on why we care only about catholic colleges?

Deliberately misled and deceived? C'mon SOV. Correct. If HC announced this was their intent a month or two ago, then you better believe a good number of families would have found other options, rather than paying full tuition (minus room and board) for something that’s a step above DeVry University. Another low for the Burroughs tenure. Are you aware that a Covid is an evolving situation? There is still an opportunity to change your mind about enrolling this semester.

Profits before people. According to Gordon Gekko “Greed is good”. That’s what Holy Cross has done by deliberately misleading and deceiving students and families. Shameful. It’s official— you’re just a troll. UPenn and Princeton sequenced the exact same events. Exact same timing re: tuition payments. Same answer re: tuition discount. Get mad at HC over something else, but not this. The carousel is not over.

What specifically are HC's failings compared to the other schools you've listed? See response of njcrusader above. I also have a child at Nova and have been following the responses of other like colleges to this awful mess. A common theme of other school’s responses is “students first”. Take a look at PC’s website (“As faculty members, staff members and administrators, we must commit to keeping the welfare of our students foremost”). At Nova, the message is “We will get through this together”. These schools highlight the “possibilities”. HC’s response is “bottom line first”. “Our ‘financial models’ require us to force our students to live in more densely populated dorms because we do not want to take a financial hit”. You have about 50-60 students (mostly seniors) seeking to go to Worcester to be with their classmates that are willing to help HC de-densify the campus by living elsewhere (at much greater expense) and they are being denied “permission” to do so. HC has chosen $$ over the health and safety (and overall well-being) of these students. This is not surmise, by the way- it is being openly stated during the various webinars and Zoom calls being held. Dean Irish repeated it twice yesterday. When he said it the first time, it met with some shock. When he was asked in follow up if money is the prime reason for the denial of “permission” to live off-campus, he confirmed that is is! I give him high marks for being brutally honest. This is not his decision. It is the decision of the “rudderless” ship that HC has unfortunately become. This is sad and shortsighted. Where have you gone Father Swords and Father Brooks? First we’re mad at HC because it’s all about money. Then we’re mad at HC for not being all about money. Get your story straight.

Crucis, Do you believe higher education should be exclusively remote moving forward — corona or not — or will we ever get to a point where in person learning and living in dorms is permissible? I ask in all seriousness and not in jest. Stop.

Just read this and Becker is giving a free semester of tuition in 2021-2022 if kids stay enrolled this year. I imagine because this may close the school — $5m endowment.

All of these offers seem to be at an even higher level than last year. Need to convert though, of course.

Isn’t HC surprisingly unexposed to the stock market relative to its peers?

Really hope we don’t screw around this year with changing QB’s in-game. Considine is the guy this year.

Can't imagine going out to AFA and getting trampled is going to impress the locals and help with recruiting of course I think the same concerning a BC debacle so I guess it is a tossup. Just as soon watch one as the other. One thing all of us agree (or so it seems) is that playing two FBS teams in one year is a very bad idea. Let's hope that scheduling snafu does not materialize again. How ever will this program recover after playing both navy and Syracuse this past year? Alumni attended both games very well and then HC won the PLC. The horror!!!!

I'd rather he foul out with 5 minutes to go in the game and him having played 27 minutes, than have him play 23 minutes and not foul out Great!

Exactly. Single bullet theory prevails in this case. When we tear down/blow up that dilapidated and cavernous eyesore we'll replace it with a 12K modern stadium with lights, turf, great scoreboard, etc. And it'll host several different HC sports teams. Till then I don't see us sinking cash into it. It will never be torn down.

Man is Umass screwed.They might have just crossed the point of no return. They have difficulty recruiting and selling themselves as-is and now kids have to question how real their awarded scholarship is? Going D1-A has cost Umass 20 years and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration. Sad.
