my point is that virtual school is possible and it can be even highly ranked (as far as I remember about No 20 in the world). But they are of course much less ambitious:
* No new facilities. Rented on need to have basis * No research overhead. In fact, pretty much no permanent faculty at all. * No expenses for books/IT other than bare minimum (or rented via Erasums) * Small admin staff
Well, then I guess it can work. But here thise guys spent 100 mln already...
It reminds me the presentation in Stockholm about new MBA program. Basically 2 hours of flashy crap. And then one guy stood up and asked if returning sponsor money is an option.
