As long as mom and dad pick up the check.
I’m leaning toward the Pol Pot program of sending them to the fields and forests to experience the benefits and soul-cleansing of manual labor. Kinda help them get their heads straight.

In his recent book, “The Innovative University,” Christensen and co-author Henry Eyring analyze the future of traditional universities, and conclude that online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education, effectively undermining the business models of traditional institutions and running them out of business.

The other 50% will just close their doors and become homeless encampments for their homeless intellectual yet idiots grads with worthless degrees from them and faux professors!
Good professors are now doing what Amazon did to the malls with online education and degrees.
Not with the kiosks that are coming. Most will have to move into mom's basement and blog for a living.
BOL! About two years ago, sinecure, thanks to Free Republic became a favorite new word for two of my adult sons and me.

Not gonna happen. Students will always want to gather, relate directly with peers and instructors, and have quiet places reserved for studying. That’s why after 30 years, on-line courses are still mostly for working adults.
The ideal college size will always be one which can efficiently use essential resources. On-line courses mean that small colleges can offer more electives. Other essential resources used to be giant libraries and research facilities, which in turn attract top-level researchers. Today, they are becoming more mundane, such as cafeterias. Some students may even prefer a 3,000-person university over a 1,000-person college because that university has a swimming pool. And some idiots will pay $10,000 a year extra to see live sporting events.
But this doesn’t mean that the big universities will be endangered: they’ll simply make sure they continue to move into the smaller-college market by offering satellite campuses, so that you can live close to home, but still have a degree from a “name-brand” university.

Just now figuring this out ? Progressives have no future.
And this result is nothing but a positive outcome.

at present online degrees are a joke as a replacement for a traditional degree.
Online universities are just a student loan sucker grab.
