A fellow teacher's son is at Birmingham Southern. She says that if they make the kids finish the year with online classes, she'd better get a big fat refund check on his tuition because she's not paying that kind of money for him to teach himself.

From what I've been told at most universities in Ohio, these are teacher-led classes online. Students aren't teaching themselves. They are getting their lectures live but remotely.
I wouldn't expect a refund check when the university is still paying the teachers to teach, plus are paying for extra online broadcasts.

You can let her know that I've been teaching - TEACHING - online for 6 years. He won't be teaching himself, and that professor is putting in too much work to go without pay.
