Very dire predictions.

THIS is the opportunity of which the Power 5's may very likely take advantage.

Well said. SMH at the people I see walking around in public with what they believe is protective gear. With gloves on, they handle all the things they would normally handle with their hands, then take the gloves off with those hands and freshly contaminate them and pat themselves on the back with those same contaminated hands. Genius!

One of the biggest selling products is hair dye.

Funny I don't see any comments on that fine institution down the road opening up and commanding its students to come back, COVID-19 or not.

Probably because that never happened. I was as shocked as everyone else when I first heard about it but if you dig a little deeper you see that all of their classes are online and it is mostly the international students that are still on campus, the same thing every other institution is doing. I think it got sensationalized because JF can be a little crazy and out there but everything I've seen, when you get past the click bait headlines, is that they have pretty much the same policy as every other school in VA when it comes to who is on campus.

I believe this is the way it went at Liberty, nobody was commanded to return. What Falwell did was make the dorms available for return if a student wanted to. His words were basically the students had paid for the use of dorms and wanted the students to be able to use what they're purchased. Classrooms were not opened. About 1900 students had returned, I'm guessing that to be about 10% of the students who room and board at Liberty.

Possibly he was looking for a way to reduce the burden of refunding any money to the students. I'm not sure how I feel about it. They are private, yet gain the advantages of non-profit. If they were completely for-profit institution, my stance would be that they're simply an apartment building and should be treated no different than any other multi-family/person housing. All over the country, students who live off-campus and pay only tuition have stayed right where they are if they choose. We have a student only housing complex close to my home here in Charlotte and it appears that about 75% of those UNCC students are still in them.

Agreed that they did not command students back, but they did command teachers back initially and they also initially had a small window for students to retrieve items from campus. That isn't the same policy as every other school.

It is mostly international students (~750 according to JF) but Liberty's own website says they had 1,900 students return to on campus residence after 3/20. It appears all schools are open to international students, but I don't believe any other college emailed their student body and "welcomed" them all back to campus. I don't believe any school housed ~25% of their on campus students as of that date. That isn't the same policy as every other school. Frankly, JF got bailed out that the remaining 6,100 students didn't take that invitation and instead of the logical/smarter option of staying in a single location.

I don't believe any university president is taking to twitter and calling any student's parents "dummy" via (twitter when they express concerns over the policies.

I don't believe any other university president went on national news to say everyone was overacting and then bringing up attempts to impeach trump. That isn't the same public stance as every other school.

I guess we just have different meanings of "pretty much the same."

The figures are confusing given that JF has given different amounts and then reporters have also reported different amounts (maybe given that JF is changing his amounts). However, Liberty's website shows that 1,900 were on campus after spring break (3/20) and that there were 8,000 prior to spring break, so ~25%. The 10% amount is JF trying to save face and comparing the on campus residence students who returned to the total campus student population but he isn't considering the off-campus students that returned to the area in that amount as he said he was unsure of those numbers.

At least one Liberty student has tested positive for COVID-19. There may be more. But we all know JF lies, so there's that.

At least one JMU student has tested positive too. Before Liberty's case(s).

OK, what about this, then? I know it's a couple weeks old, but he hasn't said a lot to the contrary.

The interview I saw him give on ABC news said very much the contrary. He said we are not offering any in person classes all of our classes are online and we are the best situated university in .... blah blah blah... he talked about how they are getting all employees off campus except for food preparers, housekeeping, security, and some back room employees.

Obviously, this is from their own site, but they claim they 0 cases on campus and are not even aware of anyone on campus with open tests awaiting results. It looks like they announced on March 16th that they were moving classes online for the semester. For what it's worth, JMU announced a similar policy on 3/18.

http://www.liberty.edu/news/index.cfm?PI...MID=379359

I disagree with much of what JF says and does but there seemed to be a pretty far divide between what happened and what was reported. This, to me, is somewhat similar to the whole McDOnald's spilled coffee issue. The truth was not nearly as exciting as the rumor so the rumors spread and replaced the truth for all except the most diligent of researchers. The idea that a University was inviting all students back and starting up in person classes and demanding faculty/staff return is going to sell and that headline will get clicked on so...people ran with it.

I have several rental properties leased by university students. They are all at home taking their courses online. No changes, otherwise. I did, however, speak to one professor who told me that 8 out of 20 students aren't showing up for online instruction and she aims to fail them. So, I'm a little worried about our domestic students for next fall, but our international students (mostly grad students) are committed to finishing the coursework for their degrees.

The fact that much of Lynchburg, including city officials, are pretty angry with Falwell and say he lied to them about what he was doing also says a lot, as far as I'm concerned. I have a friend living there who is retired from the EMS and she says feelings are high.
