Colleges are reopening in fall, but many professors won’t be present
This is looking more and more like an extinction event for academia.<p>Elite institutions can charge whatever they want for their brand name and selectivity, and for the environment of other equally motivated high potential students.<p>Other schools combine a school with a resort&#x2F;cruise ship experience. Insofar as the school is no better than a bunch of videos, and the resort is mostly shut down, so long as employers don&#x27;t care, it will be hard to justify spending 10x on a residential experience.<p>With live teaching going the way of life musicians 100 years ago, we can expect similar effects- fewer better teachers, and better access to them.
