On a side note, it costs more to take the University Alliance administered courses there online than the in-person version. My courses went online, but I’m not paying UA prices.

Ironically, at many schools, the tuition for online classes was the same PLUS a surcharge for online when the first move to online offerings was being done.

How quickly some forget.

I know. There are those of us who are old enough to remember the push to embrace online learning for the cost benefit that never showed up. And the extra fees you got instead, as you point out (I had tech fees even when being in-person since using the LMS was integrated into the course as a info repository, so it was there regardless of the delivery method).

I’d like to think it’s the anger coming back for what never showed up to begin with. Better late than never, but oh so overdue.

I don't. I was in grad school back then. Luckily I was an on-campus student forced online so I paid regular in-store tuition.

Liberty and BYU in the finals.
Liberty reopened last spring so there is no way they would not allow no in-person classes when things are dying down.
