Dick's Guide to the Demise of Universities and Colleges for Undergraduate Degrees.

Educational Establishments Damage Students

Universities and colleges, as we have known them, will cease to exist within 25 years.  
There is little reason for anyone to travel to school, spend time in libraries, go to classes
with fixed schedules and pay tens of thousands of dollars, to accumulate knowledge that
is already free on the internet.

Many educational institutions have already instituted online courses.  But, the colleges are charging for
these courses, and that simply won't work.  Knowledge is too available and its free, so universities will
need to develop a new paradigm to survive. They won't.  Colleges and universities are vitally dependent
upon a centuries old system, where the knowledge seeker is a second class citizen. paying for the opportunity
to attain knowledge. This will end.  Free courses, supported by advertising revenues, and public minded
citizens, will be better, easier and cheaper to take.  From the standpoint of the student, the only thing holding
back an immediate revolution is the still existent need for a diploma.  It will take employers some time
before they will become comfortable with a graduate from OFU, the Online Free University.  Universities
and professional unions, like the NEA and ABA, will also fight to demand actual diplomas from schools
accredited by the unions, and it will take time for legislative bodies to end the professional union's hold over
educational formalities.
