Here's one thing that I see...
I've been taking a lot of cheap economics classes that are subsidized by conservative schools/foundations. I appreciate the help and obviously some of the idea is to nurture conservative academic structures. Some of the donors show up at the in person conferences. And I live right next to Hillsdale College which is kind of like training camp for conservatives. The conservative movement doesn't happen without this alternative structure.
Places like Harvard have not done a good job of expanding their base beyond cities and college towns. Here in SE MI there is basically a circle of influence around Ann Arbor and then everyone else kind of rolls their eyes at the crazy liberals. My point: It is in the best interests of Harvard and MIT and Michigan to create real distance learning pathways for non-campus students because the conservatives have been stealing their lunch.
