I agree, but not in the way you mentioned. Universities ARE ripe for disruption, even physically. What else do you spend 40k a year on with no guarantees, warranties, insurances, etc? It is possible to attend college and come out no better than someone who didn't(with poor planning or unfortunate swings). If I had the money, I'd open my own university. Pay nothing, live for free. But pay 5% of your income after graduation back to the university, up to some cap(or, perhaps for life). And pay nothing if you make less than X dollars per year. It may sound like and perhaps even be a pipe dream, but the fact is, universities are terribly mismanaged. Just where is all this money going, anyhow? Do we really need fancy facilities, boards and directors making way too much money, etc?
