Colleges have BILLION$ at risk, along with their ongoing sustainability, riding on the decisions they make over the next several months. 

Brown Univ. President Paxson just said- "Reopening colleges in the fall should be a national priority."

I would've agreed had she said it was her top priority, but I disagree on it being a national priority.

It's so consistent that colleges will always position their interests to sound like it's the public interests.

But not so fast, big things have to change within the framework of the college business model before students can return safely and affordably to college. 

This week in my College Clarity FB Group, I'll be rolling out my 5 Step Action Plan for colleges to resume their business in the fall...join the Group.

Step # 1- my 50 / 50 rule (3 parts)

1- My rule calls for 50% of the students to study on campus in the fall while 50% remain at home for taking online classes. In the spring, it reverses. This rule provides every student with one semester on campus while studying online (off-campus) in the other semester.

2- To go along with this, colleges must provide a 50% tuition-rate discount to students for the semester they spend off-campus studying online.

3) Tuition rates must be frozen/ capped for five years not to exceed the 2019 school-year rate.

International students will automatically default into the Spring semester for their on-campus studies. The necessary safety procedures for providing an isolation-style quarantine of students arriving from out-of-country will not be in place by August. 

That's my Step 1 Action of the plan to get colleges running in the fall, reasonably and safely...stay tuned for the others!
