Modern Universities Are an Exercise in Insanity
- barry-cotter 6y agoIf all you wanted out of university was education the average adjunct makes $3,000 per class per semester. So for Oxbridge tutorial style seminars you could get five people together, pay $15,000 to an under employed PhD or doctoral student and have five hours of seminars a week for a semester. This model wouldn’t work for anything with labs or much in the way of practical exercises but it’d be perfect for most of the Arts and Social Sciences. If you want college credit for it you can even set it up through Joshua Broggi’s Woolf University[1]. Or if you don’t care about that you can do it through outschool[2] for ease of discoverability and so someone else handles getting paid. More recent thoughts on this from Tanner on Twitter[3].
