Staying engaged in class is the biggest coronavirus-related concern for college students, report finds. (via CNBCMakeIt)

NASPA's survey found that staying engaged in class is the biggest concern for remote learners — even more than catching Covid-19 or getting a job after graduation.have predicted that remote instruction will continue long after the pandemic subsides.

"In the new world going forward, we're not going to go back to what it was like before. That probably means that collegiate education will be more hybrid than it was before the pandemic," says Kruger. "But I think this reinforces that students still want a live experience, they want to be in person. And this is not the end of brick-and-mortar institutions."

Kruger adds that the pandemic has exasperated existing inequalities in higher education, noting that low-income students, first-generation students, LGBTQ students and Black students have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. "Our most vulnerable students have been affected more significantly by the change in both instructional methodology as well as campus changes in general," he says. "For instance, our LGBTQ students are experiencing much higher levels of stress and anxiety. And we see students of color, particularly Black students, are more likely to use emergency services, around food insecurity or housing insecurity.

He continues, "There are some really significant equity issues that are embedded in the way the pandemic is affecting college students."
