Why incoming students should not go to school in a pandemic year

Just wanted to share this article for those who know people who are supposed to go to college/graduate school this year. It is in response to a friend who got accepted at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. She's supposed to attend this fall, and she has been consulting me about a deferral and other financing issues. From my experience as a foreign student in the United States, the uncertain climate and the potential emergence of new outbreaks do not seem to make this huge financial investment worthwhile. I empathize with cash-strapped universities, but I wonder: Can academic institutions offer discounts to those who are slated to go this year, given the possibility of some classes being moved online? How about frontliners who have student loans from med school, can those loans be forgiven? They are after all going out on a limb for all of us. Their experience alone may just help delay the next one. Would be curious to know what others think, as I am not an education expert and could benefit from your view especially on loan forgiveness.
