    I'm having some trouble interpreting this. It's unclear to me if this applies solely to certain "experiments" that have been ongoing or does this also refer to more established programs like WGU?

    It's much easier to measure time spent in class rather than outcomes. That doesn't make it a good idea, though.

    I sure hope the VA/Military (GI Bill) doesn't follow suit and discontinue funding military personnel enrolled in programs that are competency based.

    "Hybrid experiment" makes me think of Boris Karloff.

    That is certainly true. Although my enthusiasm for competency based educating is waning, as I read through how more and more of the learning outcome metrics have been measured.
