I'll second that emotion. Don Kassner and crew just fired the first shot of the new higher ed revolution.
AJU always has been a fine school and well worth the very reasonable (relatively) tuition they were charging. To get more for even less is a tough deal to pass by.
Do we see this sort of innovation coming from RA schools? No way. They pay lip service to making education accessible, but what they really mean is more tax money for student loans, which just saddles students with the decades long student loan hangover when (or if) they graduate.
This program is a great example of why the RA cartel is on the road to obsolescence. RA fat cats in their soft chairs are protecting the status quo, or getting their friends in government to do it for them. DETC is finding new ways to create opportunity for everyone.
