Consulting Deferrals

Just thought it would be useful for people to have a sense of the scale and length of deferrals that are currently occurring in the consulting industry. So far, I am aware of the following companies deferring some of their offer holders:

BCG (several times already) OC&C EY-Parthenon Strategy&

If others know of different companies/have other information, please comment below

BCG deferred the start date for their starting class?

I can confirm EY-P shortened their Summer Associate internship length from 10 weeks to 8 weeks.
