I don't want to be responsible for PurpleThrobber's soul.

The Throbber respects the sanctity of family.

Well, kids anyway. Not above stealing a hot wife. Hell, @Doog_de_Jour has made an artform of it.

Makes me wonder why I'm paying $70K a year if it's so easy for them to put all classes online?

Same. Two different institutions. We have friends in Boston who will house them indefinitely. Both appealed to be in the group who gets to stay on campus, where frankly they'd be better off than getting in a tube to fly here (Seattle). One of them has a reactive immune system that tends to go overboard, particular upper respiratory, so while she's young and strong, it would be no picnic for her to get this.

Yeah, all the schools figured out real quickly that just "canceling semester" wasn't going to work. Can you imagine being at the meeting?

"OK, people. The government says send them home, and since more kids apply each year than we have room for, just tell them tough shit and get the fuck outta here. We'll see you next fall. Or whatever."

"Uh, sir. What about refunds?"

"Refunds? Refunds for what?"

"Well, the housing and tuition costs per student, sir. For the full-pays (like Creep's kids), it's somewhere around $36,000 for the semester. They'll want partial room and board reimbursement for the days they weren't on campus, and if they don't complete the semester, they'll want all of the spring tuition back. Sir."

"Oh fuck. I'm a university president. I quote Aristotle. I don't deal with real life money and people shit. That can't happen. Get the IT people in here, stat! And here I thought I would be able to add 2.5 months to my summer vacation."

They had no choice. Harvard, with $44 Billion to play with, is about the only school who could say, "Sure, fuck it. Write the checks. We don't care."
