Drucker said: "30 years from now the big university campuses will be relics ... universities won't survive ... totally uncontrollable expenditures, without any visible improvement in either the content or quality of education, means that the system is rapidly becoming untenable ... higher education is in a deep crisis ... already we are beginning to see delivered more lectures and classes off campus via satelite or two-way video at a fraction of the cost ... the college won't survive as a residential institution ... today's buildings are hopelessly unsuited and totally uneeded."
