Campus Life in the Fall? A Test With No Clear Answer
Campus Life in the Fall? A Test With No Clear Answer
Details on what we pointed out in past few weeks. Testing is going to be a huge challenge, and probably impossible for large universities in cities.
"Testing all of those students regularly, as Mr. Khosla hopes to do at U.C. San Diego, would be cost prohibitive — about $25 million a week, Timothy P. White, the system’s chancellor, told the Cal State board of trustees on Tuesday.
Not that it will be cheap at U.C. San Diego. Mr. Khosla said it would cost about $500,000 to test about 5,000 mostly graduate students once a month during the summer pilot program. But it could cost “north of $2 million a month” for the whole campus starting in the fall."
