A couple of days ago, I linked to a Tim Swanson article for the Mises Institute titled, “Will the University Survive?” Swanson had a post on the Mises Blog today that updates his article a bit, and points us to a terrific story in Forbes:

In an unprecedented move, Stanford University is collaborating with Apple Computer to allow public access a wide range of lectures, speeches, debates and other university content through iTunes. No need to pay the $31,200 tuition. No need to live on campus. No need even to be a student. The nearly 500 tracks that constitute “Stanford on iTunes� are available to anyone willing to spend the few minutes it takes to download them from the Internet.

Check out the Stanford on iTunes webpage, here.  The press release announcing its launch in January is here, and an article in the Stanford alumni magazine describing it is here. For a description of Apple’s “iTunes U,” click here.  The Chronicle of Higher Ed weighs in, here.
What a world!
