Living in the Dorms

This is so transparent and foul that it almost defies belief:

At one California college, classes have moved online, but students are expected to stick with their housing leases.

Along with the California State University system, California’s Coast Community colleges (Coastline, Golden West, and Orange Coast) have already announced their plans to conduct the fall semester online.  Despite not offering in-person classes, Orange Coast College will charge students for on-campus housing, regardless of whether or not students would choose not to attend based on this announcement. 

Due to financial concerns caused by the coronavirus, many students can no longer afford the expense of on-campus housing. Now, their only hope is to find someone to replace their spot; otherwise, they will have to pay for the full term.

I want to point out that Orange Coast College is a public college.
