I find it odd that even now, after all that's happened in recent months, and with the reserves of cash that some of the elite establishments (in the US at least) are not taking advantage of online degrees. To give you an example. I am planning on starting a degree in October. I'm 45. It will be through the Open University. It will cost about £6000 to complete the degree. I looked at a ton of Universities in the UK and their online offerings are abysmal. there are some in Europe that look ok but the US ones are in the $30k+ price range... If I thought that Yale, Harvard etc. would do an online degree for a fraction of what an actual degree currently costs in person, I would jump at the chance... who wouldn't want that on their CV? With the resources they have they could easily extend their degree programme to the rest of the world via online learning. Same lecturers, same material. Instead, they're sitting on their hands while their entire foundation burns... I agree with one of the other comments that this could be the beginning of the end for the bricks and mortar universities
