Colleges are too greedy! Is he not actually arguing against himself at the end when he claims that faculty should not be taken out of courses? Yet goes on to say that education should be measured by how much you learn and not how much you spend. Faculty are actually irrelevant, when all these colleges do with DE is test you on a text book which can be bought in any book shop. It’s all self-study at the end of the day. You can learn as much or more with no faculty, try the public library.
This is from a year ago? Well still no sign of free online classes anywhere. Definitely not from AJU, from what I can see. I dispute that online study it is a good idea anyway. I’ve done online classes at Houston Community College all they do is demand you buy the book and read it and then sit the exams. Read 7 chapters do an exam, etc… It’s not cheap either at $207 a time. The ‘tutor’ is never actually seen or heard from. University of the People does not seem like a real institution.
850 billion each year for traditional schooling for few Americans or 50 million for a free online university for all. Do the math!
