This article is about all the things the university could be today, but isn't. In a nutshell: professors are offering classical book reading sessions on Zoom, and they're proving life-changing for participants. Meanwhile, it's a refreshing alternative to the model of the university-to-job pipeline. And it's possible only because the Zoom classes are free, so people don't have to mortgage the house (assuming they have a house) to take them. Of course, you don't have to offer classes on Zoom to have this effect (though it reminded me a lot of my MOOC from last fall). You could blog, participate in discussion lists, write a newsletter, whatever.
