Well, one gets to choose which end they are going to pay at, yes? I teach at
a community college where expenses are $13/unit maxing out at something less
than $100/semester regardless of load. Worth two years at a 4 year school,
and decent ones if you don't screw around.

Perhaps if used within the confines of that institution; but lectures, etc.,
represent intellectual property. There's far more to this than simply having
the tools to do the recording (or whatever).

??? I don't believe I have forgotten the reason I teach. I don't think that
the dramatic increase in the cost of higher education is related to that.
Again, one has a choice of institutions/prices, too. If you go down such a
path and wind up with a job that doesn't help you pay off any debt
accumulated within a reasonable time period, then it seems to me that a poor
choice was made somewhere else as well.
