I don't think we should assume they will change. The newspapers and others in similar predicaments have not changed significantly. I don't think the current model is sustainable. So perhaps we will see a new leaner and cheaper approach from wholly new institutions? Apprenticeships sprinkled with some more formal learning? "I studied under..." There has to be something to replace the credentialing that will carry as much weight as the current system.
