Rice has been supporting democratized higher education for a long time, for instance with the Connexions project (http://cnx.org http://cnx.org). They also have a history of getting interesting speakers, such as John Doerr (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zi-ThMfM4I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zi-ThMfM4I). Not so surprising that they picked up Salman Khan this year.
