Imagine if the basic finance of higher education were paid for with tax dollars, so public universities could address C-19 based on science rather than revenues, reputation, and (seriously?) football. And if the way they addressed it defined how private edus addressed it too. Crazy talk, I know. But when — not if, when — C-19 explodes at universities across the country, remember: the fatally f*cked up finances of higher ed will be a big reason why.
