1. Recently, Valencia College decided to have almost all classes be online rather than face-to-face for the fall of 2020.Under what conditions would this be a rational decision?

1. If, at the time it was made, the perceived direct and opportunity cost of this decision was less than the perceived benefits.
2. If there was no opportunity cost of such a decision and therefore nothing to lose.
3. If the perceived benefits associated with reducing illness and death was lower than the direct and opportunity cost but the college moved to online anyway.
4. If it would save even one life.
5. All of the above would make this a rational decision.
