Lawrence Zupan: High tuition costs pay for facilities; learn online instead

Regarding high college education costs, Zupan suggested that expensive facilities paid for by high tuition costs need to become a thing of the past. "The biggest issue with education is the emphasis on pushing our graduates into brick-and-mortar schools and jacking up $50K to $150K in debt, which is the way they start their post-graduate careers," he said. "Ironically, at a time when all of the wisdom, all of the knowledge accumulated through all of history is being made available online."
