    Which colleges will go under in 2020/2021

    There are schools that will never recover from this shutdown and the potential of a 2020 fall semester forced to remain online.

    No room & board income from the students that decide to enroll or return.

    How many students are now financially able to enroll or return?

    Will parents be unwilling to pay top dollar for online learning?

    How many students will take gap years?

    Even with a decent endowment schools will struggle to recover.

    Will parents keep students closer to home for fear of future shutdowns? If so then state flagship universities could be overrun with acceptances well beyond statistical norms. That would mean forced triples and quadruples in dorms during a potential second wave of the virus.

    Like every other industry, most will survive, some will not. Way too early to predict anything at this point and every school has it's own set of challenges and people to manage it.

      CARES act has provisions for HE including regulatory relief (keeping Fin Aid money they would otherwise have to give back), and an Ed Stabilization fund with $14B for HE. Lots of details on how it’s allocated, but suffice it say that colleges for the rich will get less (% Pell eligible weighs heavily in formula)

            If your children attend, or plan to a attend a small liberal arts college you may want to rethink it.

              Stop it you hater. She oversees all education. I can't imagine her priority is college over young children.
              College is a business. Their costs are not in line with the real cost of education. They need a serious readjustment. That should happen as a result if this. College students can easily take in line classes for MUCH less.

                I would definitely be closely examining their financial statements which are available online.

                That said there's also something appealing about a school in a more remote location. One of mine is (was) in a big city and they shut down early. Too many staff and students using public transportation etc. It was a good call but still sucks for everyone.

                  No one pays for education. We pay for exclusivity and experience.

                    Nobody really knows what she cares about other than making sure her and her husband and all their businesses make money. And that for profit universities continue to make money and not provide any education

                      The ones with the smallest endowments will go first (and no, I don’t mean down there!)

                        It’s sad when already extremely wealthy people step on others to make even more money and more money. Wonder what God thinks about that kind of behavior?

                          Same thing He thinks about the idiots running religious services right now, especially in the South.

                              Many of those for profit "degrees" are virtually worthless. They have some of the highest degree non-completion rates and loan defaults in the country. They take advantage of students who can't afford a more traditional education path.
