The argument that tuition shouldn't be reimbursed because you're still getting the credits is not addressing the full picture of tuition. First of all, face to face instruction is always better and frankly that's what students signed up for. However, students also pay tuition to have access to the library and other campus resources. Face to face meetings with advisors and teachers is always better than a phone call or e-mail. Lastly, the tuition is also for the college experience with all the amenities of college like school clubs, the recreation center, campus events and group discussions. You cannot replicate that on-line. When you shut down the school your overhead drops significantly. No heating or cooling, no cleaning services, no repair services, etc. How can you possibly justify the tuition being the same for on-line school????
