The university said students are far better off with in-person learning than with online approaches. Recent research indicates that the effects of remote learning have been negative.

Brookings Institution Stephanie Riegg said that "bachelor's degree students in online programmes perform worse on nearly all test score measures — including math, reading, writing, and English — relative to their counterparts in similar on-campus programmes".

The Universities are leaning on research on human learning consistently finds that the social context of learning is critical, and the emotions involved in effective human relations play an essential role in learning.

Detweiler, however, failed to mention the move means isolating those students who refuse or fear vaccination. Many universities which are returning to in-presence classes are insisting on campus vaccination. This means that only the vaccinated will receive tertiary education, but since it is considered OK for those who refuse to be vaccinated to be discriminated against and have their human rights taken away, who cares what they think?
