While many of have been focused on rebuilding the existing public university system, most of the rest of the world has moved on. This talk examines the existing university model in its decline along with three alternative that have been developed by different groups with different interests. All three alternative models build on existing trends by moving much of higher learning outside of the university. A comparison of these models will examine their strengths and weaknesses, with discussion to follow.
