The author missed the opposite risk, which is my daughter’s lease is up in July and she lives 2000 miles away. If the university hasn’t committed to in-person instruction by then (and maybe even if they have), she’s not going to renew her lease and will move home. /1

Online instruction is the only way she’s attending in the fall if she moves home. Should the university decide in August to return students to campus, she’s skipping the semester. Schools should commit now for 100% online, and optionally in-person too. /2
