I thought the University was broke!!! Faculty layoffs, no fall sports, but where there is a will there is a way!!

I’d wager that zero kids who can get into Rutgers don’t have an iPad or chrome book.
It's probably greater than zero, but definitely not a significant number. IMO, it's a ploy to get kids to enroll this fall and not defer until spring or even next year. Invest 800 to collect 10k or whatever tuition is now.
 
Were they paid for? Full price? A lot of looting happening.
They're a lot cheaper than retail when you buy them by the pallet, and when it is a school purchasing them. Still, don't cry poverty, while pulling stunts like this.
 
Are they lowering tuition too? “Virtual learning” is less expensive.
