Possible solution: demonopolize the granting of university degrees by
allowing degrees to be awarded by the regional accreditation groups on the
basis of satisfactory completion of tests rather than attendance at a
campus.  Thus, individuals could "learn at home" with or without tutors, and
use the incredible infrastructure of the internet to bring quality lectures
to them like MIT's and UC-Berkeley's free online course materials and video
lectures.
