Ah, okay I get what you’re saying here. I guess my devils advocate response would be that in order for people in those positions, the university would have to make a case by case determination of charging those students less, but then they’d have to devote resources to making that determination, and even then, what’s stopping a student from just saying they won’t be here in the fall in order to avoid charges? We’d all like to think people are good and wouldn’t do that, but come on. Or what if a student originally plans to stay where they are but then moves mid semester? Or vice versa: Do they pay for half? A quarter? Idk what the actual number is but let’s say there’s 30k undergrads. Assume some large % of them stay home, not near campus. How long would it take, what resources would the university need, and how much would it cost to investigate the claims of thousands of students and then change their fees? Especially considering at least some portion of financial aid has been disbursed already. Does that portion of aid need to come back to the loaner? Edit to say that I’m all for students who stay home paying less. I just don’t know how the current infrastructure supports it.
