Clay Travis: Harvard Charging Full Tuition For Online Courses is Crazy

Harvard. I don’t know about you guys, but the idea of colleges not being back is lunacy,

Every college should be back in the fall based on all the data.

College kids are more likely to be struck by lightning, they are more likely to die of the flu or pneumonia than the coronavirus.

If professors are old, let them stay home and they can teach remotely.

But college kids need to be back on campus.

Harvard has said that almost all students will be learning remotely.

Tuition is $49,000 a year and they are not cutting the tuition. I want you to listen to me closely.

Tuition is $49,000 per year and students will sit in front of a computer screen and still be charged the full price. This is madness.

If I were a parent with a kid at Harvard, first I would be proud of the fact that they are at Harvard.

Secondly, even though I have the money to pay the tuition, I would step back and say this is crazy that they are expecting me to pay $49,000 for an online degree.

Even at Harvard. They are basically just extorting the money from me for the name of Harvard.

You are not getting gaining any of the huge benefits of college which typically come surrounded by other students. You learn more on a college campus than you do in a college classroom.

This is absolutely atrocious that colleges think they are going to get away with charging full tuition. At most it should be half.

There is no way I am paying $49,000 at Harvard. I would suggest one of my kids take a gap year, travel around Australia or New Zealand or wherever and put you back to school eventually.
