Welcome to Star Scholar U., where professors are the credential - the Chronicle of Higher Ed

A new kind of university has begun to emerge: Call it Star Scholar U. Professors with large followings and technical prowess are breaking off to start their own online institutions, delivering courses with little or no backing from traditional campuses. Founding a university may sound dramatic, but in an era of easy-to-use online tools it can be done as a side project—akin to blogging or writing a textbook. Soon there could be hundreds of Star Scholar U’s. http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/08/welcome-to-star-scholar-u-where-professors-are-the-credential/
