Edupunk Nerd News: A Bachelor's Degree for $10,000?

Interesting.  I'm not saying this idea is all good, but it's an interesting opening gambit to a much-needed discussion on higher education today.  Note, too, how the author of this piece is a university professor of 20 years' experience (so he must be tenured and a senior scholar), but he still feels the need for anonymity because there are plenty of edu-crats and academics who would probably want to flay him alive for his nerd heresy.
