Classic! Thx for posting.
Of course, this is based on education being a powerful signal in labor markets with imperfect information. How does Father Guido screen for quality? The 5 minute U might work but I think he will have to charge more than $20 just to cover his screening costs.
Reminds me of Ivar Bergs book, The Great Training Robbery…

So what are the “coma esta usted” and “muy bien” of strategic management? That is, what are the couple of core concepts or ideas that you expect your students to retain a couple of years down the road?

The Good Father forgot that college is theogical in nature; that is, it is a voluntary submission of oneself to poverty.
