Is Online Education a Bubble?

You have to wonder when a former NBA dancer is starting an online education company…whose purpose is to help non-profit universities compete with for-profits.
It’s the online race to the bottom…

I think the word you’re looking for is “disintermediation”. Students will still study, professors will still teach, and researchers will still research. None of those parties require the input of Podunk State U to those things. The only stable value (outside luxury brands like our fair Harvard) will be in testing services.
Don’t be sad, it’s already happened to most of the rest of us. I compete against subcontinental folks with lower salary demands every day.
