Alright the price/cost of tuition is a completely different story so I’ll skip that.
If you’re paying for the expertise of the professors, that cost doesn’t change if you’re learning remotely.
Additionally, just because people aren’t in the buildings doesn’t mean the don’t have to keep paying the electric and water and internet bills—they don’t stop because you aren’t using it... And the things you might expect they could stop, like foodservice, are generally contracted, so again the bill is due whether it is used or not. Bottom line, all the costs that are when students are on campus are still there when they are off campus.
