[FRIAM] "higher" education

[Prof David West]

Scott Galloway (professor at  Stern School of business and supposed authority) on universities post COVID.

Fifty percent of the investment in prestige university education is for 'certification' —  degree that signals your lifetime earnings. The Harvard brand is strong enough that students will accept an inferior educational experience. The fifty biggest university brands, Harvard, Stanford, etc, will partner with tech giants like Apple or Facebook to create a hybrid university, most others will hollow out and die like the large department store chains. Dorm life and in-person experience will be reserved for children of the 1%.

Pretty bleak and a commentary on previous FRIAM conversations about education and elite universities.
