Abstract	The COVID-19 crisis has all but upended higher education's business model, given the high susceptibility of college campuses to viral outbreaks. Since a vaccine will likely not be available until 2021, universities could be facing up to three consecutive semesters of remote learning and reduced revenue. Going forward, more students may choose to forego or delay their education if schools convert to online models to keep the virus at bay. The federal CARES Act provides some $12.5 billion in relief to colleges and universities, but advocates say it won't be enough, citing added financial aid burdens from families facing joblessness and difficulty recruiting international students subject to travel bans. Others have lamented the bailout of large, elite universities with exorbitant endowments while a small, private college in Wisconsin has already permanently closed due to COVID-19. The report includes a chart that shows the allocations from the federal government under the CARES Act for the largest colleges and universities in Massachusetts. (As Provided).
