My university, Johns Hopkins, recently announced a series of exceptional measures in the face of a coronavirus-related fiscal crisis. Suddenly anticipating losses of over $350 million in the next 15 months, the university imposed a hiring freeze, canceled all raises, and warned about impending furloughs and layoffs. Most extraordinarily of all, it suspended contributions to its employees’ retirement accounts. "Many of our peers are grappling with similar challenges," wrote our president, Ronald Daniels.

According to CNBC, banks in China are using “ultraviolet or heat treatments” to disinfect cash. A spokesperson for the World Health Organization told the news organization that “it has not issued any warnings or statements about the use of cash.”
“Yes it’s possible and it’s a good question. We know that money changes hands frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses and things like that. We would advise people to wash their hands after handling banknotes, and avoid touching their face. When possible it’s a good idea to use contactless payments.” Via ThePlanetaryArchives/BlackHorseMedia - San Francisco

I need no convincing of the value of campus life and in-classroom education. I recognize that online platforms can’t perfectly replace what we deliver on campus. But they can fulfill key pieces of our core mission and reach many more students, of all ages and economic backgrounds, at a far lower cost. What online services lack in quality, they make up for in convenience—and as they get more popular, they’re only going to get better, which in turn could unbundle the prevailing model of higher education.

All businesses before they actually become businesses need to ask themselves an important question. That question is who is their main target audience? Once they answer who they are trying to target then they need to know a few things about that specific group of people. That is where this interesting article comes into play.
It mentions the different forms of technology each generation uses. That should be looked at by businesses to make sure that they are able to provide information for every device such as apps for the phones and tablets as well as properly functioning websites for the desktops and laptops.
It also mentions how certain generations are likely to be on the computer at certain times so timing out correctly notifications and emails you want your target audience to see is very important to take into consideration.

I agree that this has been a tough year in all aspects, and when it comes for education, it has undeniably been really difficult for both students and educators. Teachers have had to get used to a bunch of new strategies and methodologies, and it becomes even tougher when old teachers don't handle technology, so they had to learn how to use it from the beginning and adapt to this ciscumstances. Besides, there are a lot of limitations for many students who don't have the possibility to get virtual classes or doesn't even own a cellphone, which unfortunately has delayed their learning process.
