The University of Washington has cancelled all in-person classes.
This is understandable, but it also makes it especially crucial that the
university allow students to do this with free software.
Until now, it seems that students had the option of attending classes.
With that option cancelled, they may face the choice of running nonfree
software, or flunking out.
If I were a student, I'd drop out rather than yield to that. But
schools should not impose on students the need for such sacrifice.
Aside from that, virtual "school" over the internet is known to be
inferior in quality to real school. If this continues, students won't
continue paying for quality which they don't get.
