The last wide spread communication they put out, and only communication on having in person classes was on June 2nd - that was ages ago in pandemic time. Since then, LA had a huge uptick in cases which we all hope settles soon, and I am sure USC is riding that out as well. A school/business cannot keep changing their plans back and forth, that is way worse. They have not put out anything publicly since then, although I read one of the schools did send out a letter in the last couple days that all their classes would be online. I hope they keep moving forward in attempt to have in person classes, it’s still around 2 months away. If they can’t, then they can’t, we will adjust our plans like everyone else, it’s not that big a deal compared to other issues going on. First world problem. This isn’t a scandal and has nothing to do with events past, it’s a global pandemic.
I understand people are angry and anxious over the limbo this whole covid thing causes in every aspect of our life, but uncertainty will be with us for awhile. Schools and businesses can only plan so far with the information they have at that moment, they cannot control a pandemic.
At our house, USC is the one thing we have zero stress about, we know it will eventually work itself out and we have to be flexible. Why not have your student consider a community college or any other school if so disgruntled? I’m not trying to be snarky, but you seem so unhappy overall, maybe moving on would give you peace of mind? 'Cause it is a lot of money to spend on something if so displeased.
