The article basically describes the way that universities function in most other places around the world.
Speaking as a graduate of two European universities (an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. cost me a total of something like $600), I'll take the European model over the American one any day. You may disparage the universities there as being like "technical colleges," but the education is outstanding. Students come from all over Europe, and live in flats near college. I lived that way for many years and was a lot better off without the frat parties.
To be honest, American students would learn a lot more if their universities focused more on academics and less on water parks and fancy dormitories.
