I'm interested to see where this concept goes, particularly in its stated mission to provide an educational experience for the underserved. Most non-traditional students, no matter how motivated, simply don't have the time or resources to trudge their way through the traditional college experience. Should we not be concerned about educating them as possible as well? I believe so, and some of the barriers to traditional college for someone in their 30's, say, requiring a student be physically onsite, just seem absurd.
I think it's also important to note that this is not intended as an all-out replacement of traditional colleges, just a potential alternative. In an institution as old and important as this, cultivating innovation rather than hiding from it is absolutely vital.
