Police said a neighbor’s home
surveillance system recorded a
person fleeing the scene.
“Another family member, after
reviewing the video surveillance,
told detectives that he believed
the suspect to be someone he
knew, and provided Wilson’s
name,” police said in a statement
Wednesday.
It is not clear whether Wilson
has an attorney. He was being
held Wednesday in Virginia,
pending extradition to
Montgomery County, police said.

digital media classes were once
held. “I just want to find my

Twitter: @petuladI wasn’t the only one with that
brainstorm. I quickly found out
that at least two moms in my
circle made the same escape
with their bored and wilted 16-
year-olds this week.
They were in Virginia, where
the College of William & Mary,
Virginia Tech and James
Madison University were
verdant ghost towns. One mom
said the University of Virginia
was more populated.
“It’s not the usual student
bustle, but there’s lots of people
active related to the medical
center,” she said. “It’s hard to see
freshmen-aged folks. Everyone
seems older.”
In-person college tours are
suspended, of course. Most
colleges have virtual tours
supported by student-led virtual
tours and discussions. Nice, but
still not the same.
No college in the area
matched the gung-ho innovation
of Becker College in Worcester,
about 35 miles outside of Boston,
where prospective students can
get a car parade tour.
“The tour will be hosted viarate.
My Class of 2022 kid is really
lucky when it came to the college
thing.
The Princeton Review says
that “visiting campus, talking to
current students and trusting
your gut instincts: the
personalities, politics, and
interests of the student body” is
the key to finding the right fit for
a college.
But most of America’s colleges
closed their campuses just before
the acceptance deadline for
incoming freshman. That means
the college-bound Class of 2020
got the raw deal in this
pandemic. Now, those freshmen
are still getting the shaft as they
try to get the vibe and
personality of a campus they
gambled on through a computer.
Every day, another college
announces an online-only fall.
M y son is in an in-between
grind year as a high school
junior. It’s a little early for
campus visits, but anxiety about
the future is not lost on these
kids, and I wanted him to have a
tangible feel for a post-covid life.The drive alone — yes, it is
possible to double-mask at
turnpike bathrooms — was
exciting enough after five
months of lockdown among the
same four humans and 20 trees.
And we’d surely find some new
country roads to try out his new
learner’s permit.
While we’ve been masking
and sanitizing and distancing in
honor of physical health and
community well-being, the
mental health of our kids is
fraying.
The academic folks know this.
“Self-care is of high
importance, especially in times
of crisis,” wrote a group of
academics from the Harvard
Graduate School of Education in
a letter to h igh school kids
signed by more than 200 college
admissions folks across the
nation.
“ We recognize that many
students, economically
struggling and facing losses and
hardships of countless kinds, are
simply seeking to get by,” the
letter said. “We also recognize
that this time is stressful and
demanding for a wide range of
students for many different
reasons. We encourage all
students to be gentle with
themselves during this time.”
For us, lucky enough to have
income and good health, it
meant a careful trip to
encourage forward thinking.
I mapped out a drive and
checked hotels online for their
covid-19 policies. I’ve dragged
my kids to some serious fleabag
hotels. “All we need is a bed and
a shower,” they repeat after me,
on some road trips where they
dared screw up their faces at the
wood-paneled, green-carpeted
wonders we checked into.
But we upgraded to a fancier
place that bragged about
vigorous cleaning and even
installed virus-killing UV-
lighting in i ts HVAC system.
Whoa.
“Mom. They have a robe and
slippers here. I’ve never had a
hotel robe,” the teen nearly
squealed in a voice I hadn’t
heard for months.
Yup, covid-19 pricing means
you can have a fluffy-robe room
for a plastic cup and paper-band-

DVORAK FROM B1
PETULA DVORAK
College tours o≠er little real feel in the covid-19 era
PETULA DVORAK/THE WASHINGTON POST
The Northeastern University campus in Boston is deserted as Petula Dvorak’s Class of 2022 son makes
an early tour. M any colleges across the country are planning an online-only fall semester.BY NICK ANDERSONAmerican University on Thurs-
day became the latest prominent
school in the nation’s capital to
reverse plans for residential edu-
cation in the fall. The university
announced that it will deliver
classes entirely remotely when the
term begins next month because
of the coronavirus pandemic.
AU also disclosed that it will
discount fall tuition by 10 percent,
a break from the full price that
would be worth roughly $2,500 to
$2,700 for full-time undergradu-
ates.
The private university in
Northwest Washington previous-
ly had said it would house up to
2,300 students on campus in sin-
gle dormitory rooms and deliver
instruction through a blend of
methods in person and online.
Now, as the novel coronavirus
surges in various parts of the
country and D.C. officials move to
tighten public health measures,
AU officials say they must scrap
their initial blueprint for the
school year. They posted a notice
to the university community that
fall undergraduate and graduate
classes would be offered “online
with no residential experience.”
Georgetown University on
Wednesday withdrew plans to
bring a significant number of stu-
dents back to campus. George
Washington University, too, has
announced that fall undergradu-
ate courses will be online and
student housing will be limited.
These announcements, along
with AU’s, reflect the challenge of
providing an immersive higher
education experience while the
nation endures a virus that has
killed at least 148,000 Americans.
“COVID-19 offers no easy an-
swers, and we all must take diffi-
cult steps to navigate these times,”
AU President Sylvia M. Burwell
and other school officials wrote
Thursday. “While it is disappoint-
ing that we are unable to be on
campus this fall, we will not bedeterred from our work or our
purpose.”
AU officials said some excep-
tions will be made to allow stu-
dents in challenging personal cir-
cumstances to live on campus.
Elementary and secondary
schools in Washington and many
surrounding cities and counties
are also planning to open the
school year with online instruc-
tion. That poses a major hurdle for
college faculty and staff who have
school-age children.
For universities nationwide, a
key challenge is to minimize the
loss of tuition revenue in the com-
ing year. AU typically enrollsabout 14,000 students, including
8,500 undergraduates. The price
cut that AU announced Thursday
could be meant in part to bolster
enrollment in a turbulent time as
many college students are pon-
dering whether to take time off
from school.
T he university said it is “com-
mitted to providing a world-class
education and the best possible
experience regardless of location
or course modality.”
