So I just read this article in the Times about how some Asian universities are pulling students due to low cost, etc. It seems to be mostly Malaysian schools in the article. Maybe there's no real distance learning connection so I thought I'd drop it here in Off-Topics. Maybe I'll do some follow-up later. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/23/world/asia/23study.html?_r=1&ref=education
