Can a Group of MIT Professors Turn a White Paper Into a New Kind of College?

Can a Group of MIT Professors Turn a White Paper Into a New Kind of College? | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it

One key question that surfaced during the Monday meeting boiled down to this: What type of student does this new college—referred to at this point by the place-holder name, “New Educational Institution,” or NEI—intend to serve?


Several recent efforts to start experimental colleges from scratch have aimed squarely at students with high standardized test scores and strong academic preparation. That’s the case, for instance, for Minerva Project, a private institution that uses a home-grown online teaching system and has a hybrid for-profit and nonprofit funding model, as well as the budding University of Austin, a startup college in Texas aimed at ensuring more viewpoint diversity.

Stanford Report Says Emergency Remote Instruction Led to ‘Shift’ in University’s Identity

Stanford Report Says Emergency Remote Instruction Led to ‘Shift’ in University’s Identity | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
Still, even a place like Stanford can’t ignore the growing skepticism of higher education in general, and the sense, amplified by the pandemic, that college instruction can happen even without a campus, Rascoff acknowledged.

He sees potential opportunities for Stanford to try to expand access to its offerings now that more online capacity has been developed, though he says it’s too early to say whether Stanford would consider doing something like offering an online bachelor’s degree.

“No one would argue that online is a full replacement for the in-person campus,” he said.
