This is going very common not only univ and colleges. Any org which have adopted this method of instruction. Its radical to the employment agreement between the human and organization and is going to get caught up in the byzantium labyrinth of copyrights as well. I say its a slide down the slope of having lectures by the PHD then breakout sessions by the TA PHD candidate and tutoring by the class ahead. In any online course environment, you might never know if the person responding to office hours is alive or dead if it's just by submission in a text box. Requiring video cameras goes toward the student's interests but is a doubledged sword as Profs could downgrade/upgrade based on factors outside submitted work and students could game it on their side as well. This is assuming machine grading isn't happening in the first place. Education is funny... no one is complaining on behalf of Plato who isn't getting his due or the modern student didn't get theirs as he's been unavailable for comment since 347 BC.
