Will Colleges reduce tuition if they are virtual in the fall?

fwiw, pre COVID I was talking with a friend that runs the finance department at a state flagship about online classes and if they were the future. He said the tuition would be about $5k a year if his university was online.

That seems to have the assumption of converting to an online business model, including selling off unused buildings, cutting faculty and staff jobs, etc… Colleges that hope to return to the in-person model are not going to cut much of those costs during an online semester.
