Conversation Thread: Current impacts to brick & mortar Higher Education. The recent months have shed a light on some rudimentary aspects of b&m higher ed, such as pricing, economic purpose, and social purpose. I'd like to hear the things that you think colleges are doing right/wrong.

Focusing on price and purpose (both in the economical and social sense), what are some things that you have learned about higher ed's role in society that you may not have noticed prior to Covid. Examples of the rudimentary aspects listed above:

(Price) When service changes (classes online), how is their pricing supposed to change?

(Economic purpose) When/if schools reopen, will the reopening resemble a reset, or a continuance of what was prior.

When schools in power 5 athletic conferences can no longer rely on athletics as a consistent revenue stream, will people view these schools differently?

(Social purpose) When the value of your education is put on your laptop in your room (Zoom Univ.), how does this effect one's understanding of the purpose higher ed. College is a time to not socially distance, and now that it will be a requirement, will people want to go?
