Students have a bit more choice than employees, though they too are wondering why we're all gathering in uncomfortable and inconvenient buildings to do things we could do anywhere. Martin Weller writes of the empty classrooms: "Higher education is now at the plot device point in the haunted house story, where the essential question is - why stay? Like in fiction, one reason is the financial imperative to do so.... And as with the 'can't escape' option there is a lot of socio-cultural baggage also that keeps bringing everyone back to the same point."
