maybe these gigantic institutions with billions and billions in endowment and reputation should use those resources to expand access to their school instead keeping access as low as possible
- ghaff 3y agoYou mean like MOOCs? And there's the Harvard Extension School. But many people want the "real" degrees.
- gottorf 3y ago> keeping access as low as possible That's a feature, not a bug. If everyone has a Harvard degree, nobody has a Harvard degree. A lot of the worth of one derives from its exclusivity, and the cream of the crop you meet there because of that exclusivity. I'd posit that the difference in the quality of the education itself received between Harvard and a good state school isn't worth talking about.
