Does this change things for more schools. And can Harvard sports take place without students on campus? May be a sign of things to come.
Harvard....only online classes for 2020 / 21
- Thread starter CowetaDawg
- Start date
The Ivy League has decided (or will soon be announcing) fall sports have been moved to spring per the Athletic
Why would you pay whatever it costs to attend Harvard to do online-only classes? Why not take a gap year? I know Harvard can afford the tuition hit- their endowment is a paltry $41 billion- but to me, 95% of college was the experience rather than the classes themselves.
Why not just go to tech school and get your gen ed out of the way for 5% of the cost
Plus i know a dude who was a janitor at MIT and was just as smart as the damn Harvard kids. He would solve equations at night like it was nothing
That movie created a false sense of mental superiority all over the country. And they all thought they could score with Minnie Driver.
I do believe if the colleges had been honest at this point and admitted in person classes were not going to happen, a huge percentage of students will take a gap year or so as you describe. It’s what the colleges fear.
I’ve got kids attending / preparing for college. Real discussion in our household because we believed this was coming.
Cool, 50K for online school.
One of my buddies graduated #1 in his ME Class at MIT. He's wicked smaht but I don't think he could take that janitor.

About to be some people getting Harvard degrees that shouldnt. And about to be alot of smart people at Harvard making alot of side money.
...and his best friend was completely deluded. Thought he could be Batman.
The country would be a better place if there was no Harvard. Many of our elected officials are Harvard law graduates and have flat failed our country. They are almost batting 0.000
Or maybe we would be better off voting for not Harvard grads? Like it isn’t compulsory
Sure, it would be a much better country if the 160 Nobel winners - 112 in the sciences - and countless other scholars at the forefront of their fields had not matriculated there.
Difficult to say we are "almost batting 0.000" with politicians either when such political luminaries as John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR graduated from there.
FDR? His administration was infiltrated with Communist spies. His V.P. before Truman toured Russia and said this communism is a good thing.
Saw the same thing. It is a staggered plan and depends on class and research requirements. Incoming and regular Covid testing are required and masks are, of course, mandatory.
That's all you got out of that? Really?
Whether you like it or not, Harvard is one of the premiere universities in the world and a research powerhouse and our country would be a much worse place without it.
Because they have heavy money backers when they run for office and pretty much buy their way in. Also, once in it’s hard as hell to get them out. That is why we need term limits.

Trump keeps saying we need to get the kids back in school. Harvard is saying no and others will now follow. Has nothing to do with covid, everything to do with Ttump and anything to bring about his defeat.
Charles Lieber Harvard professor got $50,000 a month from china to help Wuhan Labs and recruit and $1.5 mil to develop nanoscience lab, along with $15 mil from National Institute of Health and DOD for research and lied about china connection To hell with Harvard
It has a lot to do with Trump's handling of Covid, hate to tell you.
