If so, shouldn't universities be adjusting tuitions and counties adjusting ed taxes accordingly? (not that I believe for a moment either will)
If not, please explain. I happen to agree with students/families who feel robbed by the current experience.

Yale student sues university claiming online courses were inferior, seeks tuition refund, class action status
Jonathan Michel claims the online experience was inferior and that Yale breached its contract with him and other students and unjustly enriched itself when it did not refund tuition. His lawyers are seeking class action status so that they can represent other students.
... Michel claims that the online learning Yale instituted March 23 “cannot replace the comprehensive educational experience promised by” Yale, such as “access to facilities, materials, and faculty, and the opportunity for on campus living, school events, collaborative learning, dialogue, feedback and critique are essential to the in-person educational experience.” It is improper, the lawsuit claims, for Yale to pass the costs of the closure onto students and their families and that they are entitled to a partial refund of tuition and fees, which total about $55,000.
Those who attend Yale specifically chose not to attend an online university, the suit claims.
