That's a good idea - but I'd suggest putting the video on a DVD or CDROM, since college students are more likely to have access to players for those types of media. The disc could include an archive of relevant text files, like the Wall Street Journal interview. And it would be easier to duplicate and distribute discs rather than tapes.
Since the Sink Emperor himself is expected to speak to the class at some point, perhaps the disc could also contain some suggested questions for the Q&A session and he will be forced to finally confront the issue.
