All the state universities are having to give back housing and dining costs as well as losing the income from dining halls and food courts. For instance, Wifey and I eat at the dining halls many times per month. We're not doing that now, but the university is still paying the food service workers. You look at what that costs a big university like Univ. of Illinois, and the bucks add up quickly.
On top of that, there are many, many students whose tuition is partially paid by their student worker jobs. The university can't just stop paying those students or they will be dropped from their programs. There are many such intangibles that are not widely known by the public in general.
