I think there's an argument to be made that a public university should be putting content like this online for free anyway.

  There is, and it might even win eventually, but students could use the material now.

  You are free to make that argument, and you are free to change the system. That said, it is counterproductive to make that case in the instance where someone is trying to use public money to provide a public good. The correct place to protest is when the university sends you your tuition bill or when they decline you admission. The instructors have no access to or control over the billions in their university’s endowment fund. Right now, our options are to either fund this effort or not to fund it. I hope that we fund it.

    > The correct place to protest is when the university sends you your tuition bill or when they decline you admission. Your "protest" over a (1) tuition bill or (2) admissions rejection is not going to matter. You'll be sent to collections in the case of (1) or ignored in the case of (2). Publicly funded universities should contribute _something_ back to the public. Generally it's fucking football or basketball (assuming you pay for the right TV service). You are barking up the wrong tree.

  Yes. We should have high-quality videos for the entire STEM and med school curriculm. It wouldn't cost that much as a % of public education costs. Khan Academy claims to be doing this, but their videos are not particularly high quality.
