MIT dean to start new university: “No majors, no lectures, no classrooms”
The only point of a modern day university is that they are (a) exclusive, and (b) &quot;guarantee&quot; that students &quot;know&quot; what they are &quot;taught&quot;. That&#x27;s at least what people who hire think.<p>I remember someone saying &quot;It wouldn&#x27;t matter if MIT only taught basket weaving as long as they still had such a thorough selection process&quot;. This holds true here. People only care about the pedigree of your degree, it&#x27;s substance comes second in my experience.
