Case Assignment: The Future of IU/HIGher education

"The truth is that over the next decade, many universities may bankrupt themselves by clinging to an educational approach that confuses lecturing with learning, protects highly paid, tenure faculties and administrators from a tsumani of technological change that soon will deliver transformational learning at a fraction of today's costs." (Jeff Sandefer, The Real Problems of Higher Ed)
