I have a coworker with an online grad degree from MIT. I'd bet a paycheck he couldn't pass a freshman level class on their campus.
Shhh...

Almost all degrees are on-line now. Professors playing the COVID card to the max and claim their life is in danger. The new malingerer Ace-Card to play is the "Mental Health" card. I am too troubled by "XYZ Anxiety" so I need to live in Maui or I will "self harm". These dudes are smart, clearly smarter than me. I still show up to work. Hopefully MSU professors are the exceptions. Corporate C-Suite Executives are the same, I used to have a General Patton guy as my COO. He personally authorized me to keep a loaded Glock in my desk in case of an active shooter. The new guy, only met him personally once.

The MBA kids at work (Vandy, UVA, and Ivy) tell me that professors make most of the classes primarily on-line but many kids still live in the collegiate community to get the college life and networking. One of the Vandy kids (a Navy Grad and former Sub Officer) was pissed that his professor was living in Colorado posting his ski habits while being too "scared" to teach in Nashville. One blonde girl from Columbia U that was going to U of Chicago for MBA says that all her classes are on-line option. If you go to class, it's just a movie theater. She was super COVID scared at work, even ate with a mask on, took a bite, and then masked while chewing. But she was mad because she likes the Chicago nightlife and did not want to live with her parents in Suburban jersey. She showed me her club pictures in Chicago, no mask and barely a dress.
