The University of Denver has decided that it will return to remote learning starting this Monday, due to the increased number of coronavirus cases on campus. Classes are scheduled to end by November 25th, and in a major break with tradition, finals will take place online two weeks later. Since most of the quarter has been taught in-person, a week or so of online classes shouldn't be much of an issue. The big question, however, is what happens if remote learning needs to continue during the winter quarter? Will students balk at having to pay $50,000 per year in tuition to sit in front of their laptops and take classes in their living room? I know I would. Granted, after working at the DU Bookstore for almost 30 years, I have never found DU students to be all that studious, but to miss out on all the parties and weekend ski outings? Bummer Dude!
