Dear Bill,
Great, and thank you! And fascinating. It was very nice to meet you as well.
Briefly, here's the beginning of the Law School at World University and School (in English) and some of its main links, including beginning law schools in other countries (and planned all online, and for main languages in all countries) - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Law_School#World_University_and_School_Links.
Much ahead to do this evening, so more later.
Best wishes,
Scott
Hi Bill,
I'm enjoying reading your 1975 paper, and especially its, what I would call, 1970's informed analysis/critical stance.
I hope World University and School on both its degree side (planning free, CC, MIT OCW-centric bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, and I.B. diploma in UN/many large languages), and on its wiki side (planned as open online schools for people-to-people teaching in all 7,106+ languages) will engage the "The Four Functions of Traditional University Systems" you mentioned - "Impartation of Information, Accreditation, Coercion, Club Membership" - innovatively.
Would you like to meet for a coffee sometime next week to talk further about related questions.
With gratitude,
Scott
"For many years universities organized along traditional lines have almost totally dominated higher education. Until recently the universities' power could be justified because no other means of purveying higher education was technically feasible. Improvements in communications technology, however, have made possible the development of degree-granting programs, often called "open universities," that are no longer tied to the inflexible curriculum or expensive facilities and programs of conventional universities. It is the thesis of this Article that the current structure of the university system has retarded this development and that an antitrust attack on the monopolistic practices of private universities is feasible and should be successful." (Wang 1975)
Dear Bill,
What a nice invitation and thank you! It would be delightful to meet you either for lunch and / or afterward in your office on Friday, September 12th. But I hope it won't interfere with your sabbatical and your other projects.
I've added a reference to your 1975 paper -
Wang, William K.S. 1975. The Unbundling of Higher Education. Duke L.J. 53. Durham, NC: Duke Law Journal. -
to the "Education" wiki subject page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Education#World_University_and_School_Links. I'm curious about your thoughts too about the related WUaS wiki subject page links on this page.
Thank you again!
Best wishes,
Scott
Dear Bill,
