Lower University of Delaware Tuition for Online Classes

The Issue

As colleges and universities around the country are forced to move online due to COVID-19, the University of Delaware fails to align their interests with the interests of their students and their families regarding tuition costs. Other institutions have begun to or have already revised their tuition costs for their students to reflect the loss of quality in the college experience. The University of Delaware should follow suit as there are many aspects of the campus life that many can not experience this semester. The transition to the online delivery of classes significantly lowers the quality of education available to students. This includes no in-person interaction with an instructor, no hands-on laboratory learning, and more generally, no academic environment that many need in order to stay motivated. In a time of challenging financial circumstances, UD should play its part to ensure that students and families meet their academic goals. Sign this petition to bring to light the changes that need to be made, lower UD's tuition!
