The Future of Higher Education

The Washington Post today carried an article from The Big Money by Zephyr Teachout on the future of higher education. The article argued that universities (like newspapers) will soon be under intense competition from aggregators that grant degrees by offering online courses with standardized content, with adjunct faculty grading tests. The article also claims that only the elite schools (like elite newspapers) and state-funded institutions will survive in the coming era.
