#2I'd imagine the tuition should drop by about 30-50%, seeing as college costs are going to be dropping. I'm pretty sure in a skeptical sense they'll be trying to pay associate professors less for the same reason.
and charging students more.
Re: Online classes are not worth cost of full tuition
#3I started looking at going back to school around a year ago and online is basically the only way that will ever happen realistically.
While most programs do charge a bit less for tuition, the amount of money they're charging for recorded lectures and a credential is almost comical. On top of that many programs, including some of the better looking ones (i.e. from flagship state schools) still differentiate between in and out of state tuition. There were a few programs that were cheaper, but you could tell there was a reason for that.
So yeah, no way in hell I'm paying for what they're asking considering what I'd get.

From what I’ve seen, this has already been happening over the past decade already. I agree they’ll continue doing it for “new reasons”

#6I'm going into the final year of my computer engineering undergrad and my tuition is $1,500 cheaper than last year - $15,800 vs. $17,300. However, that might be due to the politicking of our province's government rather than any generosity on the school's part.

#7The linked article is the real interesting bit: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/mandatory-online-cour...
Note that it’s talking about high schools.
Re: Online classes are not worth cost of full tuition
#8Schools still have a very large proportion of their fixed costs to cover. Schools and their lecturers need to invest in perfecting onlive delivery.
Therefore it's not particularly realistic to expect schools to chop their top-line so soon.
This is clearly a transitory and uncertain period. With time, possibly less time than schools hope, they will be forced to adjust prices downward.
