This case is a blessing, and hopefully the first of many. Higher education is a disaster. And many of its problems are traceable to tenure. This problem will be solved by the Internet. Bricks and mortar institutions of higher learning and monopolistic universities have a crude awakening coming. Internet based, low tution schools with very high standards are coming. Diploma mills and certificates as standards of recognition are rapidly going to disappear. Most businesses have long recognized that many degrees are worthless as proof of training. Online testing by computers will replace pieces of paper as proof of knowlege or capability of performance. Boards will prove their unworthiness as arbiters of standards. Costs are going to plummet and the quality of education will soar. One good professor will be able to teach billions and generation after generation. Until someone else proves they are worthy of replacing a "master" he will be able to teach his course to unlimited numbers of students at his own or his heirs' rate of reimbursement and all of the unworthy professors and their anachronistic colleges will be relics in the museum of antiquities.
