The “typical 2030 faculty will likely be a collection of adjuncts alone in their apartments, using recycled syllabuses and administering multiple-choice tests from afar.”

"Colleges, like newspapers, will be torn apart by new ways of sharing information enabled by the Internet"

"Students starting school this year may be part of the last generation for which “going to college” means packing up, getting a dorm room and listening to tenured professors.
