I absolutely do, as the 60 minutes special pointed out. In fact, the impact of a degree from a for-profit (online) instructional school has been more than a disappointment for many. The problems have reached the level of outright fraud, drawing the interest of state attorneys general and spurring legislative reforms. I'm not saying all online learning is sub-standard .. internet instruction can be useful in some instances for some students, as pointed out above. But reducing the SUNY schools to 2 year programs, or relying solely on online instruction, would be a disaster for post-secondary public education.  Being there is almost always better, which is why brick and mortar institutions (like SU) continue to draw top students (and employment opportunities).

But hey, maybe online courses work for you. It's a free country with lots of educational options ... learning in any form is a worthy endeavor and if you feel internet learning is best for you, rock on.
