"The University of Phoenixification of Elite Education"

"And while Rowan has been mounting what the American Association of University Professors has termed a “hostile takeover” of his alma mater in Philadelphia, he’s been simultaneously orchestrating an equally alarming plot to dump University of Phoenix onto the University of Idaho, in a scheme that could have an even more devastating impact on American higher education."

"elite" education was never elite. it's always been an indoctrination scheme that goes all the way back to woodrow wilson, who famously said "the use of a university is to make young gentlemen as unlike their fathers as possible".

the system has never been sustainable so it's no surprise to finally see it breaking down. universities are obsolete and will be wholly irrelevant within the next 20 years if they aren't already.
