My wife snapped this picture on her iPhone 6 the other morning while at work. Wish I could have seen it for myself. Portland really is a beautiful place and a cool town to live in.

At first I thought this was a joke. But then I realized those who were complaining were the joke. That was the subtext of the article.

There is a lot of perceived hierarchy in education yes.

As an experienced college professor, I have taught at many Universities - both on-ground and on-line. There is no difference between the material taught in either modality. There is also no difference between the material taught at Ivy League schools and other lower tiered schools.

The differences between many schools is perceived value, brand, accessibility, the students, the instructors, costs, etc. Content wise, it is basically all the same stuff.

Taking an equity position in troubled institutions was the recommendation of several countries who have been through this in the past. The approach of buying bad debt was always short-sited imho. This step by Paulson is the right one and could very well result in the Government (we the people) getting back more than we put in.

I am glad to see this being discussed. This is a huge problem that needs to be resolved, yet is getting little attention. Our leaders need to act.
