A 35% increase in out-of-state tuition? Ouch. Sounds like the free market is speaking, again. And it's telling us that students and their parents don't think CU is worth $20,000/year in tuition. The New York Times had an article on this a couple of weeks ago; schools are trying to get students who'll pay out-of-state rates, but students can't afford them, so they're staying close to home.

Education is a function that can be done very cheaply and unquestionably better by computer and the Internet.

You don't need hundreds of mediocre professors on every college campus in the country. You need the best -- getting out to the various workstations wherever people want it.

The best teacher is the good student. All those others are just high-paying jobs doing something that doesn't need to be done that way anymore. That's the obvious truth of these times.
