Many students I know were angry that they were paying full tuition to essentially teach themselves. I don't blame them. My 2 youngest sons had to take advanced foreign language courses online and hardly learned a thing.

It's this.
It's not necessarily a generation, but I am seeing a good bit of the Fall 2020 freshman class ask "WHY I AM I PAYING TO GO TO XYZ UNIVERSITY AND TEACH MYSELF WHEN I CAN GO TO XYZ COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND ALSO TEACH MYSELF FOR LESS MONEY?"
Then they transfer.
Especially if you paid and planned to go somewhere out of state and are now online.
Same for their parents. Let's say you paid for Molly to go to Beach State, got her a cool Beach State beachfront apartment back when things were slightly better, and she is now stuck inside and calling you every night stressed about teaching herself Calc. Your first suggestion after a semester of COVID is "HOW ABOUT COMING HOME TO SNOWBANK COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHERE YOU CAN STAY WITH US AND TEACH YOURSELF FOR LESS MONEY?"
