General Discussion

> The best case is a greatly diminished higher education system
Already there and still diminishing as professors and top students decide to teach and learn elsewhere, endowments dry up, and the local population decides "higher" education is an inefficient waste of money.

> The worst case is major universities failing
By complying with the shakedowns, they've already failed. Failure in the business sense will take somewhat longer, but it's the caboose in a long train of desperate submission and cowardice. We'll get there soon enough.
