Editor’s note: This is a follow up to a piece the author wrote urging firms to cancel summer programs. That piece has also generated opposing views, captured here.

In a piece last week, I made the case for firms to cancel their summer programs. In brief, I argued to cancel the program and offer would-have-been summer associates full-time positions for when they graduate. The piece struck a chord, garnering an unusual number of responses (for which, many thanks, and please keep them coming). I believe two particular ideas from the responses are worth sharing: one on helping students financially, the second on running a shortened program.
