NU shutting it down

[Alan Smithee_rivals156293]

Not just the men's BB team. NU declared an extra week of spring break, to be followed, at least for weeks, of remote instruction.

So is the NBA

MLB next?

Good move. Be a disaster to send kids off to all parts of the country or globe for spring break and then bring them back to the dorms and campus

Wonder if April 1st deadline for spring tuition still in place lol.

Fred Hoiberg left the game early, and was diagnosed with... a common flu

I doubt they have ruled out COVID. Probably don't have test kit yet. Just stupid on his part to risk exposing his players and staff.

Watch Armon Gates next to Hoiberg in the video going around. That will give you a clue what he thinks it is.

I wondered the same thing. Can't get the result that fast? I guess there's a chance it's possible to confirm a common flu instantly and that rules out others issues? Regardless, scary

Dunno how accurate they are but doc offices generally can do a flu test on premises via nasal swab. I had one (negative) a few weeks ago. Doc put me on antibiotics and whatever I had cleared up quickly ... but symptoms were corona-like. Seemed like a double dip of an identical thing I had six weeks prior.

Donovan Mitchell 2nd Jazz to test positive for the virus

How can they charge the tuition they do for "remote" instruction?

How can they charge the tuition they do for "remote" instruction?

How is it any different from any other on-line education?

That's what I've wondered for decades about NU.

NU will probably film some adjunct prof. who cannot speak English clearly as I had for cell biology. At least you can tape it and rewind it easier as I had to do.

My daughter's school says they will pro rate and apply to next year's bill

I think most will do the same.

Graduating seniors will receive a refund, I imagine.

Do those cost $18K?

No, but they're not NU.

It's easy to be critical of NU's tuition. But there's a likelihood that colleges and universities will be in serious financial trouble. For example, there could be a very small first year class across the country in the fall.
