Colleges received $76 billion in emergency funds during the COVID-19 pandemic and spent more than $1 billion on software and tech to support distance ed. An analysis of college relief spending published last week by The Chronicle of Higher Education found that just over 3,000 colleges received funding from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund between 2020 and 2022. Of the $76 billion in funding, $58.4 billion was distributed to public colleges and universities, which spent more than $1 billion on distance learning technology — including cameras, computers and software.
