I'm really curious to see if this experiment works out. Looking at their website, it seems that they don't have any land whatsoever, so does that mean this is going to be 100% virtual for now? They also don't offer degrees, so is this basically a glorified Khan Academy for the time being?
Also, it remains to be seen if they can resist the same forces that they say have overrun other universities in the country.

- chrisseaton 5y ago> they don't have any land whatsoever Vast majority of organisations don't own any land - they lease office space.
- djbusby 5y agoUniversity generally has some land they built on, granted by the State (UCB, UW, UMass, VT) or some rich guy (Stanford, Harvard, Yale, etc)
- chrisseaton 5y agoRight but you don’t need any of that really - you just need normal office space.
