SACRAMENTO — In the most sweeping sign yet of the long-term impact of the coronavirus on American higher education, California State University, the nation’s largest four-year public university system, said on Tuesday that classes at its 23 campuses would be canceled for the fall semester, with instruction taking place almost exclusively online.
The system is the first large American university to tell students they will not be returning to campus in the fall. Most of the nation’s colleges and universities have gone out of their way to say they intend to reopen, but they are also making backup plans for online classes

Pandemic is “dem” surrounded by panic!
Time to break the union up and separate from these neurotic blue state queers, commies and libs.
And after that, a 3rd wave, a 4th wave, etc,etc,etc.
If public k-12 schools do the same I would hope that the DOJ would step in.
If private schools do this they will go out of business.
That’s a good one.
Perhaps this is the way to go for ALL “higher education”, as the social contact thing has been WAY overdone, almost to the total exclusion of any excellence in learning.
Party schools have almost killed the value of a degree in ANYTHING, as there may be near-total illiterates being turned out by what are essentially diploma mills that award certificates for attendance only.
“Pass/fail” is a lot more fail than pass.
Only if President Trump gets re-elected. If the RAT candidate manages win the mail-in vote the CV19 panic will all be over.
I live in CA and have one kid who is just finishing up at Cal State, and another kid who will be applying to college next fall for the following year. And then my last will be heading to college two years after that.
Those two last kids will be definitely applying to some out-of-state universities in red states now, which plan to still hold in-class teaching. And out of country as well (my oldest went to university in England—surprisingly affordable as only a 3 year program and a great experience).
Watch for CA money to start flowing to the red states for the education of CA young adults. This will be great for their economies. Too bad for CA. They are blowing it big time here.
There will be no more “waves” once the election is over.
Fear! Bunch of pussies.
Yes! There will be a 3rd and 4th wave of the Scamdemic!!
My grandsons are in a private school in CA. The oldest is graduating in a couple of weeks but , of course, that’s a no go. I will say they have had excellent online classes but it’s not the same.
Given how the various coronaviruses work, we are stuck with this one for good. It’s tough, but reality, hopefully it’s less fatal in future years though.
If Donald Trump is re-elected, there will be endless waves.
Don’t know how on-line education works, but if it reduces professors/teacher from interjecting into the topic for his/her socialist indoctrination, think that would be a good thing.
The pan-dem-ic is a dem-panic...
All well and good for Californians who don’t care about college football and basketball.
In Michigan a sports talk guy said “Well Gov. Whitmer said there can’t be college sports with fans.”
Sidekick disagreed:
“No. Notice Whitmer said there won’t be big stadiums filled with fans to watch teams play. That implies she will allow some 10 feet apart ones or something.”
Sneaky. She’s a Dem, you know.
All big time college sports towns bring in literally millions of dollars a game in tickets, parking, TV, radio, concessions, team fan apparel and the hotels, restaurants, tourist stores and gas stations in town. City revenue for U of Michigan long ago was estimated at 5-6 million dollars a home game for the city.
Cities to Whitmer: “Hey, uh, we’d sorta, kinda like to open our businesses you witch!” In nicer words.
Old times: "There it is, people, our long wagon journey is over. That is California!"
New times: "As soon as the overvalued and overtaxed house sale is done we are out of this socialist uniparty state. They can pay for the millions of illegals and derelicts. Look out there, it's the way to escape California!
