text: Education is changing.  Whether you like it or not, UAA and the government schools will be forced to embrace online education, distance learning, VR & AI for content delivery.  A server in a closet with a broadband connection is a lot cheaper than an Associate Professor and can deliver high quality education to thousands simultaneously.  
  
  Public education at all levels is in much the same position that community bands were 140 years ago after Edison invented the phonograph.  And that light at the end of the tunnel is a very fast moving train.  Cheers -
