I remember talking to a fancy tech person who had taken an interest in the college affordability crisis. They had hired consultants about designing a stripped down low cost version of a degree with minimizing all the expensive frills, focusing on just the costs of instruction, assessment etc., how could we get away from the amenities race to offer a meaningful higher education experience that wouldn't put you in debt for the rest of your life.

That's right they re-invented "Community College"

the solution to a lot of things actually exist but tech folks don't like them when they're for poor people.

@TSindelar Yeah but how are they going to get to a billion dollar valuation and a meaningful IPO from that?!

(Community Colleges are wonderful and must be protected at all costs.)
