It's exciting to see some thought and movement at this level.

The existing system is broken when it comes to actual student knowledge. A lot of systems are to fault, but as the modern university has bowed to their corporate overlords in filling the pipeline of modern corporate key punchers, college has essentially become tech school for Power Point and Excel in a lot of cases.

So many of our current college students would be so much better served by tech school.

Heck, so much of this community often ends up eschewing college at large to go build something - often because the value proposition of the university model right now simply doesn't make sense.

We're always going to need people who can think - maybe a bifurcated path where a lot of our university experience returns more to a true liberal arts education.

This experience-based model wouldn't have been out of place historically. That it appears so revolutionary to us today shows how broken the current model is.

Something has to change. I'm excited to see some movement around the borders.
